PNG vs GIF: What Changes?
PNG keeps every detail of a picture and supports see-through backgrounds, but files are bigger than JPG. Converting to GIF gives you a simple image that works in old apps, forums and email.
| PNG | GIF | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Logos, screenshots & editing | Simple animations & graphics |
| File size | Medium to large | Small for graphics, large for photos |
| See-through background | Yes | Simple (on/off only) |
| Animation | No | Yes |
| Opens on | Everywhere | Everywhere |
When to Convert PNG to GIF
Common reasons people change PNG files to GIF.
Screenshots
Screenshots on most computers and phones are saved as PNG.
Logos & Graphics
Designers use PNG for logos and graphics with see-through backgrounds.
Old Apps & Forums
Older software and forums that don't know newer formats can show GIF.
Simple Graphics

Tips for Converting PNG to GIF
- Screenshots and logos stay sharpest when you start from the original PNG.
- GIF is best for simple graphics. For photos, JPG looks better and is smaller.
- GIF can only use 256 colours, so smooth colour fades may look a little stripy.
