GIF Splitter
Decompose animated GIFs into individual frame images for easy editing, analysis, or extracting specific scenes. Runs completely in browser, supports high-quality output, simple and fast operation.
Key Features
Complete Frame Extraction
Efficiently reads GIF files and extracts every frame image while maintaining original quality and colors. Works well for both simple animations and complex high-frame-rate GIFs.
High-quality Output
Each frame outputs as PNG format ensuring lossless quality. PNG format supports transparency channel, perfectly preserving transparent effects in GIFs.
Individual Downloads
Each extracted frame can be downloaded separately, convenient for selecting specific scenes you need. Supports preview function; click images to zoom and view details.
Browser-side Processing
All processing completes in your browser; GIF files never upload to servers. Fast, secure, and protects your privacy.

Important Notes
- Large GIF files (high resolution or many frames) may require longer processing time
- Extracted frame count depends on actual GIF frame count
- Some optimized GIFs may use inter-frame compression; extracted PNG files may be larger than original GIF
- Browser memory is limited; may encounter performance issues when processing extra-large GIFs
