Frequently Asked Questions
How does the transparency setting work when converting PNG to GIF?
Unlike PNGs, which support 8-bit semi-transparency (smooth gradients), GIFs use 1-bit transparency (pixels are either fully transparent or fully opaque). Our tool lets you decide how to handle this: you can preserve the transparency, map it to a specific index color, or disable transparency entirely and fill those areas with a custom solid color of your choice.
Are my private images uploaded to any servers?
No. Image Studio is a privacy-first web application. The entire PNG to GIF conversion process happens directly inside your web browser’s memory using your local hardware. Your files are never sent to a cloud server, keeping your images completely safe and confidential.
Can I convert large PNG files with this tool?
Yes. Because the conversion is powered locally by your device's web browser, there are no server-side upload limitations. You can convert high-resolution PNGs of any file size without worrying about bandwidth limits or transfer errors.
Why does the output GIF have a different file size?
GIFs use a limited 256-color palette and a different compression algorithm compared to PNGs. Our tool displays real-time input and output file sizes, along with transparency statuses, so you can tweak your settings and find the perfect balance between visual quality and file size optimization.
