GIF to PNG

Converting GIF to PNG involves transforming raster image data from the GIF format to the PNG format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless compression format suitable for images with high-quality graphics or transparent backgrounds.

Here are the steps to convert GIF to PNG:

1. Read GIF Image: Load the GIF image file from the file system or a URL into memory.

2. Decode GIF Data: Decode the GIF image data to extract pixel values and metadata such as width, height, and color depth.

3. Encode as PNG: Encode the decoded pixel data and metadata into the PNG format. This process involves compressing the image data and storing it in a PNG file structure.

4. Save PNG Image: Save the PNG-encoded image data to a new file or buffer, ready for use or further processing.

Uses of GIF to PNG Conversion:

• Lossless Compression: Convert GIF images to PNG to preserve image quality without introducing compression artifacts or loss of detail.
• Transparent Backgrounds: PNG format supports alpha transparency, making it suitable for images with transparent backgrounds or overlays.
• Web Graphics: Use PNG format for web graphics, logos, icons, and other images requiring high quality and transparency.

Example Inputs and Outputs:

1. Input GIF Image: "animation.gif"Output PNG Image: "animation.png"

2. Input GIF Image: "logo.gif"Output PNG Image: "logo.png"

3. Input GIF Image: "icon.gif"Output PNG Image: "icon.png"

In these examples, the GIF images are converted to PNG format, resulting in PNG images with the same content but lossless compression and support for transparent backgrounds if needed. The converted PNG images can be used in various applications, including web development, graphic design, and digital publishing.
