About GIF
GIF dates to 1987 and is limited to a 256-colour palette per frame with binary transparency: a pixel is either fully opaque or fully clear, which is why GIF logos often show jagged fringes on coloured backgrounds. Its one superpower is animation.
About PNG
PNG is lossless, supports 24-bit colour plus a full alpha channel, and is read by literally everything. For static graphics, icons, and screenshots it's the format that gives you clean edges and no palette artefacts.
Why convert GIF to PNG?
Convert GIF → PNG whenever the animation doesn't matter and the quality does: logos, diagrams, screenshots, and sprite frames all look better and composite more cleanly as PNG.
