Features & use cases
Features
- PNG pixels are decoded and encoded as GIF by image-ir for png-to-gif; no OCR is performed.
- EXIF, color profiles, layers, animation frames, and camera metadata may be stripped unless the destination requires minimal metadata.
- Transparency stays for PNG and WebP but is filled with the selected background for JPEG, BMP, PDF, and other opaque targets.
- Animated inputs such as GIF are flattened to a still frame unless a server codec explicitly supports animation for that output.
Use cases
- Prepare PNG files for tools that expect GIF.
- Create reviewable samples for support tickets, tests, and data handoffs.
- Batch recurring file chores while keeping warnings attached to each output.
- Normalize partner or archive files without installing desktop conversion software.

Strip metadata
Remove source metadata when writing the output.
DPI
Rasterize SVG or PDF-derived pixels at the requested scale where supported.
Example

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("input.png")
img.save("output.gif")FAQ
Does PNG to GIF run in the browser?
No. This pair needs server codecs or PDF rendering not reliably available in browsers.
Does this perform OCR?
No. Image conversion changes pixels and containers only. Use AI Vision for text extraction.
What happens to transparency?
Alpha is preserved for formats that support it and filled with the background option for opaque outputs.
Are animations preserved?
Browser conversions flatten animated inputs to one frame; review warnings for server animated output.
Will metadata be kept?
The default path strips metadata for privacy unless a codec needs minimal metadata for validity.
Everything you need
Browser-first privacy
CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, XLSX, and table conversions run locally when the source and target formats support it.
Warnings, not surprises
Formula drops, flattened arrays, sheet selection, and layout changes are surfaced as conversion warnings.
Batch and zip
Queue multiple files, download individual results, or package them into a zip for handoff.
API, CLI, MCP
Convert from browsers, scripts, automations, and AI assistants with the same warnings and outputs.
Team workspaces
Shared history, API keys, limits, and retention settings keep production conversions controlled.
Retention you control
Browser files never upload; server inputs auto-delete within 24 hours and outputs follow workspace retention.
Comparison
Why teams switch
Where data files are processed
FileTypeConverters: CSV, JSON, YAML, XML, and spreadsheet files can convert in your browser.
Upload-only converters: Most tools upload every file to their servers first.
What you learn about fidelity
FileTypeConverters: Warnings call out flattened arrays, dropped formulas, selected sheets, and layout changes.
Upload-only converters: Downloaded files often arrive with no explanation of what changed.
Batch + zip
FileTypeConverters: Batch files and download individual results or one zip.
Upload-only converters: Batching is often paid-only or missing.
API, CLI, and MCP
FileTypeConverters: Use the web app, automation, or an AI assistant with the same conversion behavior.
Upload-only converters: Many converters are web-form only.
Retention control
FileTypeConverters: Browser files never upload; server inputs are deleted within 24 hours.
Upload-only converters: Retention is usually unclear or not configurable.
Price
FileTypeConverters: Start with free browser conversion and clear paid limits.
Upload-only converters: Limits are often hidden behind upload steps or subscriptions.
