Convert GIF to PNG — Export GIF First — SVG Export First
GIF is limited to 256 colours and produces dithering artifacts in complex images. GIF is not a direct preview input; export the source to PNG, JPEG, or WebP before upload.
Free Protected Preview
Protected Vector Preview
No account is required to create or view the protected preview. The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

GIF is not a direct preview input; export the source to PNG, JPEG, or WebP before upload. Converting GIF to PNG eliminates colour banding, dithering artifacts, and the harsh colour boundaries that appear in complex GIF images.
For logos, icons, and graphics with flat colours: GIF to PNG conversion is virtually lossless for most practical purposes. The limited colour palette of the GIF may mean the PNG looks identical — the advantage comes when the PNG is then used as source material for further editing or conversion.
For animated GIFs: PNG does not support animation natively. When converting an animated GIF, only the first frame is extracted as a static PNG. To convert an animated GIF to a video format, consider MP4 or WebM instead.
Transparency: GIFs use binary transparency (on/off per pixel). PNG supports full alpha transparency. The GIF-to-PNG conversion preserves the transparent pixels from the original GIF.
After authorized SVG export, use a separate downstream tool to create PNG and inspect that file for the intended workflow.
