Converting APNG to GIF

This page is the APNG to GIF setting of our converter, with GIF already chosen. Drop a APNG file in and the result comes back as GIF — no account, no queue, and no watermark on the output.

The conversion runs entirely inside your browser tab. Your file is read into memory on your own machine, converted there, and handed straight back. Nothing is uploaded, which means there is no size limit imposed by someone else's bandwidth and no copy of your file sitting on a server after you close the tab.

What is APNG?

An animated PNG. Keeps full 24-bit colour and real transparency, which GIF cannot, but plenty of older software and chat apps still refuse to display one.

What is GIF?

Limited to a 256-colour palette. Suited to flat graphics, logos and simple animation rather than photographs.

What changes in this conversion

GIF holds 256 colours and no partial transparency, where APNG holds millions and full alpha. Some quality is always lost here — it is worth doing only when the destination cannot read APNG.

Is it really free?

Yes, and there is no catch to explain. Because the work happens on your device rather than on a server, running this costs us nothing per conversion — so there is no bill to recover and nothing to gate behind a sign-up, a daily quota or a watermark.
