HowTo: Alternative Way to Convert GIF to PNG

Here's an entry on how to convert multiple GIF files into PNG file format from terminal.

There are many ways on converting GIF files to PNG file format. One of them is using a command-line driven gif2png GIF-PNG file image converter.

Description:
The gif2png program converts files from the obsolescent Graphic Interchange Format to Portable Network Graphics. The conversion preserves all graphic information, including transparency, perfectly. The gif2png program can even recover data from corrupted GIFs. There exists a 'web2png' program in a separate package which is able to convert entire directory hierarchies.
