APNG to GIF

Convert APNG or static PNG files to GIF online. Adjust animation and image settings, then download the result.

This tool requires temporary server processing. Uploaded files are automatically deleted.

Select or drop up to 10 APNG or PNG files. Each converts independently, so an error with one does not stop the others. Change settings and process again without selecting files again.

The converter reads APNG frames with compositing, their delays, and the play count. A static PNG produces a static GIF.

Choose Keep or Fill with background. GIF cannot retain partial transparency: Keep leaves pixels at least 50% opaque visible, makes less opaque pixels transparent, and blends semi-transparent edges with the background color. Fill places the image on your chosen color.

Set colors to 256, 128, or 64, and turn dithering on or off. Set width from 0 to 1920 pixels, where 0 keeps original width. Height follows proportions, and images are not enlarged. Choose playback speed of 0.5×, 1×, 1.5×, or 2×. Start conversion, then download each GIF or multiple results as a ZIP.

Choose this conversion when a project, upload form, or animation workflow specifically calls for GIF rather than PNG. GIF files are usually bigger than the APNG, so this format is not a way to reduce file size. If you are working with a size cap, check the converted file before using it. The width setting can help fit an animation into a specified layout, and the speed choices let you adjust its playback. Keep width at 0 to use the original width, or set a smaller width when the output needs to fit a tighter space. If your source is a still PNG, the result will also be still, so use an APNG when you need to retain animation.

FAQ

Are the APNG frames, delays, and loop setting retained?

The converter reads the composited frames, their delays, and the play count. APNG frame timing and loop information are used for the GIF output.

What happens to semi-transparent edges when converting to GIF?

GIF does not support partial transparency. With Keep selected, pixels at least 50% opaque remain visible, less opaque pixels become transparent, and semi-transparent edges are blended with the background color. Fill with background places the image on that color instead.

Can I convert several APNG files and download them together?

Yes. Add up to 10 files in one run and download the results together as a ZIP. Each file is processed independently, so an error with one file does not stop the others.

What are the file size and frame limits?

Guests can upload files up to 50 MB, images up to 100 megapixels, and animations with up to 300 frames. Registered users can upload files up to 100 MB, images up to 200 megapixels, and animations with up to 600 frames.

Do I need to register, and how long are the results available?

No registration is needed, and conversion is free with no watermark. Originals are deleted after processing. Results are available for 1 hour for guests or 24 hours for registered users, then they are deleted.
