How to use

- Convert & download: Click Run. A preview appears immediately and you can download the converted file.
FAQ
- What is the maximum file size?
- 3 MB. This is set by the Vercel free tier request body limit. For larger images, clone the repo and run locally — there is no size cap when self-hosted.
- Does conversion affect image quality?
- Lossless formats (PNG, TIFF) preserve every pixel. Lossy formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF) use the quality slider — 80 is a good default that balances file size and visual fidelity.
- Why convert to WebP or AVIF?
- WebP is 25–35% smaller than JPEG/PNG at equivalent quality and is supported by all modern browsers. AVIF is 50% smaller still but takes longer to encode. Both are great for web delivery.
Why convert GIF to PNG?
Converting GIF to PNG lets you use the image in contexts that require the PNG format, whether for compatibility, file-size, or workflow reasons.
- –Editing pipelines — PNG is the safest intermediate format when you need to re-edit an image without accumulating compression artefacts.
- –Batch conversion of GIF files in a CI pipeline using the REST API: POST /api/image-converter.
- –Quick one-off conversion without installing software — everything runs in your browser.
About GIF and PNG
GIF supports animation and transparency but is limited to 256 colours. Best for simple animations and pixel art.
PNG is a lossless raster format that supports transparency. Ideal for graphics, logos, and screenshots where pixel-perfect quality matters.
Quality note: Both GIF and PNG are lossless formats. Converting between them preserves every pixel exactly. The main difference is file size and software support.
