We're still building this one. We'd rather not ship it until it works reliably end-to-end — no fake progress bars, no pretend success screens.

GIF previews as PNG
Animated GIFs with transparency are common — logos, decorative elements, reaction stickers. Extracting a single frame as a PNG preserves that transparency, where extracting as a JPG would flatten it to a solid color. For workflows that need a transparent static preview of an animated GIF (a thumbnail that matches a transparent background, a sticker that needs to overlay other content), PNG is the right output.
GIF's transparency is binary — a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque, no in-between. PNG supports full 8-bit alpha (256 levels of transparency), but converting from GIF doesn't add partial transparency that wasn't there. The output PNG has the same binary transparency as the source GIF.
For workflows that need every frame of a GIF as a separate PNG (to build a sprite sheet, to edit frames individually), we'll add a multi-frame extraction option that bundles all frames as numbered PNGs in a ZIP. That's on the roadmap after single-frame extraction ships.
