About this tool
Break an animated GIF into its individual frames, each saved as a lossless PNG with transparency preserved. Useful for grabbing a single perfect still, building a sprite sheet, editing frames in an image editor, or studying how an animation was made.
Frames are fully composited, so each PNG shows the complete picture at that moment even when the GIF only stored the changed region. Frames are numbered in playback order and can be downloaded individually or together as a ZIP archive.
Everything happens inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server: the conversion runs on your own device using WebAssembly, and the result is downloaded straight from memory. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
How to use it
- Drop your GIF file into the box above, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded.
- Click the button and wait a moment.
- Download the result.
Frequently asked questions
Can I turn the frames back into a GIF after editing?
Yes. Edit the PNGs, then rebuild the animation with the Images to GIF tool.
Why are there more frames than I expected?
Many GIFs repeat frames or use very short delays. Every frame stored in the file is extracted.
Is this really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, and there are no limits on how many files you convert.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Files stay on your device, which also makes it faster than upload-based converters for anything larger than a few megabytes.
Is there a file size limit?
The only limit is your device's memory. Images and audio of any normal size are fine; for video, files under about 500 MB work well on most laptops and phones.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop and mobile. Very old browsers without WebAssembly support will not work.
