Will the PNG keep the transparent background from my GIF?

Yes. GIF supports binary transparency (a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque), and PNG preserves that transparency in the converted file.

Which frame does the tool export from an animated GIF?

By default it exports the first frame. The tool lets you select a specific frame number if you want a different moment from the animation.

Why convert a GIF to PNG instead of keeping the GIF?

PNG gives you a lossless, non-animating image that's easier to use in presentations, design tools, and apps that don't handle animated GIFs well.

Is the conversion lossless?

Yes. PNG is a lossless format, so the pixel data from the extracted GIF frame is preserved exactly — no quality is lost in the conversion.

What it does

GIF to PNG extracts a still frame from your GIF and saves it as a high-quality PNG image — all inside your browser, with no upload required. This is useful when you want a static version of an animated GIF: a clean thumbnail, a profile picture, or a web graphic that doesn't move. PNG supports full transparency and lossless color, so the extracted frame looks exactly as it does in the original animation. The tool is completely free, works offline after the page loads, and requires no account. Your GIF stays on your device — Carbide never touches your files.
