ConvertWhat happens when you convert KRA to GIF
- KRA files store a full-size merged image, and that is what you get.
- All visible layers are merged into one image.
- Both formats are lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly.
- Transparency is kept.
- GIF is limited to 256 colors. Dithering keeps gradients and photos smooth.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many KRA files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting KRA to GIF reduce quality?
GIF can show only 256 colors, so photos lose some color depth. Dithering hides most of the banding.
Does GIF keep transparency?
Yes, GIF supports transparency and it's kept.
Are layers kept?
No. The file is flattened into a single image, exactly as it looks. Keep the original if you still need the layers.
