GIF vs PNG: what changes

GIF PNG
Type Raster (pixels) Raster (pixels)
Compression 256-colour palette Lossless
Transparency Yes Yes
Animation Yes No

GIF is an old raster format limited to a 256-colour palette with only on/off (1-bit) transparency. Its one real advantage is short looping animation; for still images it is larger and lower-fidelity than PNG.

PNG is a lossless raster format with a full alpha (transparency) channel, so it reproduces sharp edges, flat colour and text pixel-for-pixel with no compression artefacts.

Transparency is preserved, since both GIF and PNG support an alpha channel.

When to convert GIF to PNG

Converting GIF to PNG lifts a graphic out of GIF's 256-colour ceiling into full-colour, lossless quality with proper transparency — ideal for a static logo or sticker that looked banded as a GIF.

Good to know: GIF animations have many frames; this tool converts the first frame only, producing a single still PNG.
