About GIF → PNG
Why convert GIF to PNG?
PNG escapes GIF's 256-colour palette limit and gives you full 24-bit colour. verto converts the first frame only — animation is not preserved.
About GIF
GIF is one of the oldest image formats still in active use, famous for short looping animations. It is limited to a 256-colour palette per frame, which makes it a poor fit for photographs but acceptable for flat graphics and short clips. In verto, GIF is accepted as an input only — animation is flattened to the first frame, because the modern outputs (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF) are encoded one frame at a time by the browser's Canvas API.
About PNG
PNG is a lossless image format built around exact pixel preservation and a real alpha channel. It excels at flat graphics, UI screenshots, logos, icons and any image that has to look pixel-perfect or sit on top of another background. Because every pixel is stored exactly, PNGs are much larger than JPG or WebP for the same photo content.

Strengths
- Universal browser and OS support
- Supports simple animation and 1-bit transparency
Trade-offs
- Capped at 256 colours per frame — terrible for photos
- Larger than WebP/AVIF for the same content
- In verto: first frame only when converting (animation is dropped)
PNG
TargetPortable Network Graphics · introduced 1996
PNG is a lossless image format built around exact pixel preservation and a real alpha channel. It excels at flat graphics, UI screenshots, logos, icons and any image that has to look pixel-perfect or sit on top of another background. Because every pixel is stored exactly, PNGs are much larger than JPG or WebP for the same photo content.
Strengths
- Lossless — never degrades when re-saved
- Full alpha-channel transparency
- Universal browser and OS support
Trade-offs
- Much larger files than JPG/WebP/AVIF for photos
- No animation (APNG exists but is rarely used)
- Slower to encode than JPG on large dimensions
