GIF frame extractor — every frame as a PNG or JPEG
Pull the individual frames out of an animated GIF and save them as PNG or JPEG images — composited exactly as a player would show them, entirely in your browser.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
All processing happens in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.
GIF frames are often stored as partial patches over the previous frame rather than complete pictures, so this tool composites each frame the way a player would before exporting it — what you download is what you saw, not a fragment. The millisecond figure under each thumbnail is that frame's display delay from the file. Click any frame for just that one; PNG preserves the exact pixels, JPEG is smaller for photographic content.
How to use
- Drop in a GIF. Frames decode and preview immediately.
- Browse the frames. Each thumbnail shows its number and display delay.
- Download. Click one frame for just that image, or download all of them numbered in order.
Questions
Why do other extractors give me broken partial frames?
Because GIFs usually store only the pixels that changed since the previous frame, and a naive extractor exports those patches raw. This tool composites each frame on top of the previous ones, respecting the format’s disposal rules, so every exported image is the complete picture a player would display.
What is the millisecond number on each frame?
That frame’s display delay as stored in the file — how long a player shows it before moving on. Frames in one GIF can have different delays; that is how pause-and-hold effects are made. Note that browsers treat delays under 20 ms as 100 ms, a quirk inherited from the 1990s.
PNG or JPEG for the frames?
PNG is pixel-exact, which suits the flat colours and hard edges most GIFs contain, and it is the right choice for editing or re-assembly. JPEG is smaller and fine when the frames are photographic and you just need to look at them.
Can I rebuild a GIF after editing the frames?
Not here — this tool goes one direction. The video to GIF tool builds GIFs from video; assembling one from edited stills is a job for an editor like GIMP or ffmpeg.
