Citrus Get Citrus Convert GIF to PNG on Mac, offline
Need to turn a .gif file into PNG? Citrus converts GIF to PNG right on your Mac, offline, using Apple's own engines. Nothing is uploaded to any server, which matters for client work, private photos and contracts.
What to expect
Both formats are lossless, so pixels are preserved. Resize by percent or pixels, crop, and choose whether to keep EXIF and location data, all before converting. How to convert GIF to PNG
Open Citrus from the menu bar (the citrus slice icon). Drop your .gif file, or several, into the window. You can also drag a file onto the menu bar icon to open the quick wheel. Choose PNG as the output format and adjust options if you want, like size, quality or resolution. Press Convert. Your new files appear next to the originals, and the originals are never changed. About the formats
GIF: GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. It is great for simple graphics and short loops, not for photos.
PNG: PNG is a lossless image format with transparency. It is ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics, but photos become large files.
