Why convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is an older format limited to 256 colours per frame, best known for simple animations. For single still images, PNG or WebP are smaller and sharper. PNG is a lossless format that keeps every pixel intact and supports a full alpha (transparency) channel. Files are larger than JPG but quality never degrades.
