Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PNG to GIF?
Open this page, drop your PNG file(s) into the box, optionally adjust quality, then click Convert and download the resulting GIF file. Everything happens locally in your browser.
Is it really free?
Yes. FormatBox is completely free with no sign-up and no watermark. There is no hidden cost and no file limit.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Your images are processed entirely in your browser using your device's own capabilities. The files never leave your computer or phone.
Will I lose image quality?
It depends on the format. GIF uses lossy or lossless compression depending on the target. You can adjust the quality slider; higher quality means a larger file.
What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format that preserves sharp edges and transparency. It is ideal for screenshots, logos, diagrams and graphics with text.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. You can drop several PNG files at once and they will be converted one by one, each available for download.
