GIF Splitter extracts every frame of an animated GIF as an individual PNG image, running entirely in your browser without uploading the file anywhere. Upload a GIF and the frames appear immediately, each with its own preview and download button.
PNG Output and Frame Order
All frames are exported as PNG, preserving the original resolution and transparency channel (if the GIF has a transparent background). Frames are numbered in playback order starting from the first frame. For GIFs that use inter-frame difference optimization (where each frame only stores changed pixels), the tool reconstructs each frame into a full pixel image before exporting — so what you get is always a complete frame, not a partial diff.
GIF types that extract well
- Frame-by-frame animations (memes, pixel art)
- Short looping GIFs with a low frame count
- Content where you need specific keyframes
- Sticker GIFs with transparent backgrounds
Slower processing cases
- GIFs over 100 frames
- High-resolution GIFs with many colors
- Files several megabytes in size
- GIFs that use partial-update optimization
Downloading Individual Frames
The results area shows all frames in a grid. Click any frame to zoom in and inspect details. Click the download icon in the lower-left of each frame thumbnail to save it as frame.png. If you need all frames at once, download them individually or use your browser's batch-save feature.
Editing the Extracted Frames
The PNG frames can be imported directly into Photoshop, GIMP, or any online GIF maker for reassembly. The typical workflow is: extract all frames → edit specific frames → recombine into a new GIF. If you only need to replace a few frames, download only those instead of exporting everything.
