Why convert PNG to GIF?
PNG keeps every pixel, which makes photos heavy and slow to send. GIF works in every chat app and email client, which is still the simplest way to share a small graphic.

| PNG | GIF | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Portable Network Graphics | Graphics Interchange Format |
| Type | Raster (pixels) | Raster (pixels) |

- GIF can show only 256 colours, so photos may look banded or grainy. It suits simple graphics best.
- GIF transparency is on or off for each pixel, so soft, semi-transparent edges become hard.

It can. GIF has only 256 colours, so photos may show banding. Graphics with few colours look the same.
