// 01 modes
What are the two ways to convert PNG to GIF?
Both modes use the same PNG to GIF converter. Pixazo cuts the colours to a 256-colour palette, then encodes the GIF. The only difference is how many PNG files you add and how they are timed.
Single PNG → static GIF
Mode AAdd one PNG — a logo, icon, screenshot, or sticker — and Pixazo turns it into a single GIF image. There is no timeline and no loop, just a smaller file that opens on almost any app or site. Use this mode when you only need one image that works everywhere and do not need PNG's extra colours.
- Input 1 PNG file
- Output 1-frame GIF
- Typical use icons, flat art, stamps
PNG frame stack → animated GIF
Mode BAdd a set of PNG frames in order and Pixazo turns them into one looping animated GIF. Name your files in the right order first, because the converter builds the loop in the order the frames arrive. This mode is best for sprite loops, reaction clips, and short demos.
- Input ordered PNG frames
- Output animated GIF, loops forever
- Typical use sprite loops, reaction clips, micro-demos

What can't the PNG to GIF converter do?
These limits come from the GIF format itself, not from Pixazo. They do not change no matter which tool you use to convert PNG to GIF. Read them before you use a GIF for finished work.
GIF uses up to 256 colours
GIF holds up to 256 colours, so a full-colour PNG is cut down to fit. Flat art, icons, and simple screenshots still look fine because they use only a few colours. Photos, soft shadows, and gradients can show banding after the change.
Transparency is on or off
GIF transparency is 1-bit, so each pixel is fully shown or fully hidden. Soft, faded PNG edges become hard edges and can show a thin outline where the smooth blend used to be.
GIF has no sound
GIF cannot hold audio. If your PNG frames came from a video clip, that sound is dropped for good the moment they become a GIF. You cannot add it back in this converter or any other GIF tool.
GIF loops forever
This converter sets every animated GIF to loop forever. The loop count is saved inside the file when it is made, so there is no play-once option here.
More frames means a bigger file
Each frame adds its own image and colour data, so long sequences make large GIFs fast. Use fewer frames or smaller PNGs if you need a light file to share.

How to convert PNG to GIF
Convert PNG to GIF with Pixazo in four steps. It works for one PNG or a full set of frames, and it runs free in your browser.
Open Agent P
Open Agent P in the Pixazo playground and sign in. It is free on the Lite mode, with nothing to install.
Attach your PNGs
Click Attach and add one PNG, or a set of PNG frames for an animation. Agent P picks static or animated GIF based on how many files you add, so check the mode is right before you convert.
Ask for a GIF
Tell Agent P to convert your PNGs to a GIF. For an animation, say how long each frame should hold — a short hold looks fast, a long hold looks slow. A single PNG skips this.
Get your GIF
Agent P cuts the colours to 256, encodes the GIF, and drops it in the Assets panel — free, with no watermark. Download your GIF.

What do PNG to GIF renders look like?
These are illustrative 3D renders, not screenshots of a real conversion. They show the two main ideas on this page: stacking frames and on-or-off transparency. Your real GIF will look like your PNG with fewer colours, not like these images.

PNG to GIF converter FAQ
Short answers to the questions people ask most about how to convert PNG to GIF with Pixazo.
Will my PNG's colours change when I convert PNG to GIF?
Yes. GIF holds up to 256 colours, so a full-colour PNG is cut down to fit every time. Flat art, icons, and line work still look good. Photos, gradients, and soft shading can show some banding after the change.
What happens to a transparent background?
It becomes on-or-off transparency. GIF is 1-bit, so each pixel is fully shown or fully hidden. Soft PNG edges turn hard and can show a thin outline where the smooth blend used to be.
Can I turn multiple PNG frames into one animated GIF?
Yes. Add your PNG frames in order and Pixazo packs them into one looping animated GIF. Name the files in playback order first so the loop comes out right.
Does the finished GIF include sound?
No. GIF cannot hold audio. Any sound from your source clip is dropped for good the moment it becomes a GIF.
Can I control how many times my GIF loops?
No. This converter sets every GIF to loop forever. The loop count is saved inside the file when it is made, so there is no repeat-count option here.
Do I need to sign in to use this PNG to GIF converter?
Yes. The Pixazo playground asks you to sign in before it converts or lets you download. Converting is free, there is no watermark, and there is nothing to install.
My PNG frame sequence makes a huge GIF file — why?
Each frame adds its own image and colour data, so long sequences make large files fast. Use fewer frames or smaller PNGs to get a lighter GIF to share.
Is this a real PNG to GIF converter or just a mockup page?
It is a real converter. Your PNG is cut to a 256-colour palette and encoded into a GIF when you run it. The images on this page are illustrative 3D renders, not screenshots.

About the author
This page is checked against how the Pixazo converter actually works. The facts about colour, transparency, audio, and looping match how GIF encoding really works, not a marketing version of it. Where something could be misread as a workaround GIF does not support, like changing the loop count later, we say so plainly.
Convert PNG to GIF now
One icon or a full set of frames, Pixazo handles both the same way: cut the colours, encode, download. Every GIF has up to 256 colours, on-or-off transparency, an infinite loop for animations, and no audio. It is free with no watermark and nothing to install.
