How to use
- Open bars-32x16.gif.
- Expect a 32 by 16 PNG of the first frame.
- Do not expect later frames as extra files.
Formula / how it works
bars-32x16.gif is one frame, 32 by 16. The PNG is 32 by 16. The sentence on the page says only the first frame is kept, which is the whole file here. A multi-frame GIF would still contribute one frame, the one the browser decodes. Later frames are not exported as extra PNGs and not stacked into an animation.
The colour of a GIF is already quantised. The PNG stores that decoded frame without a second palette step. Transparency in a GIF frame can remain in the PNG. These bars are opaque.
Use GIF to JPG if the next form refuses PNG. Use this page if you want the frame in a lossless container.
bars-32x16.gif is already one frame, so the PNG at 32 by 16 is that whole file. A multi-frame GIF would still yield one frame, the one the browser decodes, and the page says so. Later frames are not extra PNGs. The decoded colours are stored without a second palette. These bars are opaque. A transparent GIF frame could keep that transparency in the PNG, which the JPEG path would paint white instead.
One frame in, one PNG out, 32 by 16 for these bars. Count the frames of a longer GIF before you use this page, because the others will not be in the download. The message is the warning. Transparency can stay. These bars do not use it, so a logo GIF is the file that would show the difference between this page and GIF to JPG. The palette the GIF already had is what the browser decoded. The PNG keeps that frame.
The bars GIF and the PNG are both 32 by 16 and both are one frame. A longer GIF is still one frame here. Count the frames before you convert if the other frames matter. Transparency can remain in the PNG. These bars do not use it. GIF to JPG would paint a hole white. This page does not. The decoded colours are what you get. The GIF stays on disk.
Keep the GIF if it has more than one frame. The PNG is the decoded frame only, 32 by 16 for this file. A sticker with four frames would lose three of them here. That is the limit to decide before you press the button, not after you have deleted the GIF. Transparency can remain. JPEG would have painted it white. The bars conversion is one frame at 32 by 16, which matches the GIF because the GIF was already one frame. A four-frame sticker would not match. Count those frames first and keep the GIF. The bars PNG is complete only because the GIF was already a single frame. A four-frame file would still produce one PNG, and that is the reason to count before you delete. The bars GIF had one frame, so its PNG is the whole picture. A longer cartoon would not be fully represented by that one PNG file from this page.
A JPEG of that same first frame is GIF to JPG.

FAQ
How many frames are exported?
One. The frame the browser decodes from bars-32x16.gif.
What size is the PNG?
32 by 16.
Are later frames stacked?
No. They are not written.
Is the GIF palette applied again?
The PNG stores the decoded frame. It does not invent a second palette.
What if I need JPEG?
Use GIF to JPG. That path paints a transparent pixel white.
Is the GIF uploaded?
No.
One 32 by 16 PNG is the whole of bars-32x16.gif. A multi-frame GIF still yields one frame here.
