Why convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is the old animation format. It is limited to 256 colors and on/off transparency, which makes photos look grainy, but it plays everywhere.
PNG is a lossless image format: every pixel is stored exactly, and it supports full transparency. It is the standard for screenshots, logos, icons and graphics with text.
Choose PNG when you need sharp text and edges, transparency, or an exact copy of every pixel.
