Converting PNG to GIF: what to know
PNG is converted to GIF for older websites, forums and programs that accept only GIF, or to build an animation from several images: add them and choose "Merge to GIF" on the "All files" bar.
GIF holds at most 256 colors. Simple graphics, icons and pixel art often survive this without visible loss, while photos and smooth gradients become grainy.
PNG or GIF: which to choose?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
PNG stores images without quality loss and supports transparency, but photos in PNG are large.
Best for screenshots, logos, diagrams and any images with transparency or sharp text.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
GIF is the classic format for short animations, limited to 256 colours.
Best for short looping animations, stickers and simple graphics.
What happens when converting PNG to GIF
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
PNG files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
