Browsers can't natively encode GIF. For static images we deliver PNG (visually identical). For animated GIFs, use our video tools.
All processing happens in your browser — files never upload anywhere.
PNG to GIF converts your Portable Network Graphics (.png) files to Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) directly in your browser using the browser's built-in Canvas 2D encoder. No signup, no watermark, no upload — your PNG stays on your device from start to finish. Graphics Interchange Format is typically used for short animations and simple graphics, and Toolspace's converter preserves the source at the highest quality the target format allows.
