About the GIF to APNG Converter

Our free online GIF to APNG converter turns your .gif image into a high-quality Animated PNG document with full 24-bit color depth and smooth alpha channel transparency.

Unlike most online tools, conversion happens entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API — your image is never uploaded to a server. That means it's fast, works without an internet round-trip, and keeps your files completely private and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GIF and APNG?

APNG supports 16.7 million colors (24-bit) and smooth, gradient alpha transparency, while GIF is limited to a 256-color palette and binary, pixelated transparency — APNG produces noticeably crisper, more accurate images.

Are APNG files supported in modern browsers?

Yes. All major modern web browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — support APNG natively, so your converted file will display correctly for virtually all users.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API — your image is never uploaded to a server, so it stays completely private.

Will the converted file still be animated?

The converter captures the currently rendered frame of your GIF and exports it as a high-quality PNG. For a fully animated multi-frame result, keep the original GIF alongside your converted still image.

Does it cost money?

No. The GIF to APNG converter is 100% free to use, with no registration or account required.
