Converting GIF to PNG upgrades the file to true-color lossless storage with proper alpha channel support. For most GIFs the PNG is smaller, looks cleaner (especially on transparent edges), and is editable without further quality loss.

Lossless conversion. No pixel data is lost. GIF's binary transparency becomes PNG's 8-bit alpha. Only the first frame of animated GIFs converts; for animation use APNG or WebP instead.
PNG runs on every browser, OS, and image tool.
GIF is a 1987 format limited to a 256-color palette. Its lasting relevance is support for simple animation, which kept it in the meme ecosystem after PNG replaced it for static images. GIF compression is lossless within its palette constraints but usually worse than PNG for the same image.
PNG is a lossless image format designed to replace GIF. It uses DEFLATE compression, supports an 8-bit alpha channel for full transparency, and preserves every pixel exactly. PNG excels at images with sharp edges, large flat-color regions, text, UI screenshots, and anything you'll re-edit.
For most GIFs, yes. PNG's DEFLATE compression is more efficient than GIF's LZW for the same content. Savings are typical but not guaranteed.
PNG is static. The converter outputs the first frame. For animation, use APNG (animated PNG) or WebP, which support it natively.

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.
There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
