What happens to your data

Kept

  • Every pixel and the transparency of the PNG are read exactly as they are
  • Opens everywhere, in chats, forums and old tools

Good to know

  • GIF has only 256 colors, so photos show banding and lose detail. It suits logos and flat graphics better.
  • Transparency is on or off: soft, semi-transparent edges become hard edges.

PNG vs GIF

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency

GIF

A GIF file stores simple images or short looping animations using a very limited color palette (256 colors). It's the classic format for memes, reaction animations, and short looped clips.

Used in: Memes & reactions · Simple animations · Messaging apps
