About this tool
GIF to frame tool will split a GIF into individual frames. This can be useful for storyboard, ref, animation check, thumbnails and minor edits. The animation is decoded locally in the browser and all the full frames are displayed in the list. Each image can be downloaded individually or all the frames can be downloaded easily. The original file will not be altered so you can view the source.
How to use this tool
Choose a GIF or animated WebP file.
Scroll through the frame list and inspect the sequence frame by frame.
Download one frame or click Download-all-frames to download all frames in zip
The animation can be quite misleading when looking at the details. The individual frames allow you to easily find the key frame, copy a still, check transitions or even save as a thumbnail for another project. As the final output is a PNG image, it means that you can download each frame and they will be a still image. This makes them ideal for use in documents, design programs or image editing programs.
The frame grid retains the original order, allowing you to easily understand how your animation will look using a simple storyboard format. The transparent areas and finished composite will be visible in the preview and not just a small amount of change within an optimised GIF frame. The number of frames and size will depend on what you are animating. Large animations may take up more memory within the browser so it is best to start with a smaller file size.
Use an individual frame button when one moment is enough. Use the all-frames action when you want a complete image sequence for editing or review. The original GIF stays on your device, and the extracted PNGs are created in the browser.
For the reverse workflow, combine still images with an animation tool or use the GIF combiner for existing GIF and WebP clips.
Common questions
Choose the GIF and wait for the frame list to appear. Each frame can then be previewed and downloaded as a PNG.
Yes. Use the download action on the frame you want instead of downloading the complete set.
You can make a GIF using an online GIF maker like GIPHY. Upload a short video or a series of images, adjust the animation speed, and download your GIF.
Open a video to GIF converter and upload your video. Choose the part you want to turn into a GIF, adjust the size and quality, then convert and download it.
It means viewing the animation as an ordered series of still images rather than watching it only as continuous playback.
Yes, browser-readable animated WebP files can be decoded into the frame list.
The PNG output can preserve transparent areas when the source animation includes them.
No. The source file remains unchanged. The tool creates separate PNG downloads for inspection.
