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.
How to use it

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 it free, are files uploaded, which browsers work: the general questions are answered once for the whole site.
