YOUR OUTPUT
Every frame. Animated PNG.
Export every complete frame as losslessly encoded animated PNG. No quality reduction or palette remapping is applied. APNG can be larger than the source GIF.
Animated PNG output retains decoded colors, frame timing and transparency.
♧ Private by design. Your GIF never leaves this tab.No account. No catch.
THREE SIMPLE STEPS
GIF to APNG, without an upload.
Adjust and inspect
Review the original animation and choose your output settings.
Export and download
Check the actual result and save it. Keep your original separately.
Convert GIF to APNG without flattening the animation.
This converter rebuilds the visible picture for every source GIF frame and packages those pictures into one animated PNG file. It retains the original dimensions, frame order, stored frame delays, and playback loop semantics. Transparent pixels remain transparent. The result is an APNG download, not a ZIP of unrelated PNG files or a still image of the opening frame.
Why choose animated PNG?
PNG stores the rebuilt RGBA pixels without another GIF palette conversion. This conversion therefore avoids an additional color-quantization step: it preserves the colors decoded from your GIF. It cannot restore shades that the source GIF already lost, invent missing detail, or recover transparency that was not present. If you need to remove a flat background first, use the color-based GIF Background Remover and inspect that edit separately.
Timing and looping stay meaningful.
Each APNG frame carries a delay corresponding to its source GIF frame. A GIF that plays once becomes a once-playing APNG; an infinite GIF remains infinite; finite GIF repeats are translated into the total play count used by APNG. The output preview follows the encoded animation settings. A single-frame source produces a single-frame animated PNG.
Check file size and application support.
APNG can be larger than the GIF, especially when the original used a compact palette or efficient partial frames. This tool encodes complete frames to keep their visible content consistent and does not perform a target-size search. Review the measured size before downloading. Your destination must support animated PNG and the APNG file extension; some applications show only its first frame or accept PNG uploads but do not play the animation. Keep the original GIF as a fallback.
A FEW GOOD ANSWERS
GIF questions,
answered.
Is GIF to APNG free?
Yes. No login, payment, watermark, or cloud upload is required. Processing happens in a browser worker.
What files can I open?
Use a GIF up to 30 MB and 4096 pixels per side, within 24 million total decoded pixels. The same memory limit applies to enlarged output.
Can the output size or colors change?
Yes. GIF outputs are re-encoded and can have different colors and byte sizes. WebP quality is lossy. Extracted PNG frames preserve the decoded RGBA pixels.
Which tool should I use next?
Trim for duration, resize for pixel dimensions, crop for framing, compress for colors and scale, extract for still PNG images, or convert to animated WebP. The navigation and tool links below connect all eleven tools.
