GIF Frames

Extract GIF frames as PNG files.

How it works

  1. 1Drop a GIF.
  2. 2Review the frame list and select the stills you want.
  3. 3Download selected frames as a ZIP of PNGs.

About

Split an animated GIF into individual PNG frames in the browser. Select the frames you need and download a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded.

Decoding uses omggif in the tab. We blit each frame to a full-size canvas, so disposal and overlays usually composite correctly. This is not a GIF maker — there is no re-encode to animated GIF.

Long, large GIFs are heavy. The file cap is 50 MB. Hundreds of frames can strain memory. Convert Image only keeps the first frame; use this tool when you need every still.

Common use cases

  • Pull a still from a reaction GIF
  • Inspect animation frames
  • Reuse one frame as a sticker
  • Grab every cell of a sprite-style GIF

What you actually get

A list of PNG stills, one per GIF frame, named in order. You pick which ones go into the ZIP.

Timing, loop count, and the original palette are not written into the PNGs.

GIF Frames vs Convert Image

Convert is for changing a still into JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF. It will not walk an animation.

If you only need the first frame as JPEG, Convert is the shorter path.

When not to use this tool

Skip it to author a new GIF, to change frame delay, or to optimize an animation. Use a dedicated GIF editor.

A 50 MB, high-frame-count file can exhaust memory. There is no server fallback — the tab does the work or it fails.
