Split an Animated GIF Into Frames
Take an animated GIF apart and save every frame as a PNG image. Each frame looks exactly as the GIF shows it, with transparency kept, so you can edit a frame, pick a still, or rebuild the animation. The GIF is read in your browser and never uploaded.
Your image is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Many online editors send your photo to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.

GIF Frame Extractor: frequently asked questions
How do I extract frames from a GIF?
Drop the GIF into the tool and click 'Extract frames'. Every frame appears as a thumbnail: click one to save it as a PNG, or download all of them as a ZIP with the frames numbered in order.
Why do some frames from other tools look broken?
Many GIFs only store the part of each frame that changes, and rely on the earlier frames underneath. This tool rebuilds each frame the way browsers play it, so every PNG is a complete picture rather than a fragment.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. Frames are saved as PNG, which supports transparency, so transparent areas of the GIF stay transparent in each frame.
Can I put the frames back together?
Yes. After editing the frames, drop them into the GIF Maker to build a new animation, where you can also change the order, speed and size.
Is my GIF uploaded?
No. The GIF is decoded by your browser on your own device, and the frames are created there too, so nothing is sent to a server.
