🎬 GIF Splitter — Extract Frames
GIF Splitter pulls an animated GIF or APNG apart into its individual frames, right in your browser: each frame appears as a PNG you can download one by one, or all together as a ZIP. Frame order matches playback order, transparency is preserved, and the original animation is never modified. Nothing is uploaded.

Detailed User Guide
Break a GIF into its individual frames
The splitter decodes an animated GIF and exports each frame as a separate image, which is essential when you need to edit a single frame or study how an animation is built.
Frames are extracted in animation order
The output is numbered in playback order, so you can reassemble or reference frames correctly when you rebuild the animation.
Understand the file size jump
A GIF keeps frames tightly packed, but exporting every frame as a separate image produces many more files. Expect a folder of frames rather than one small file.
Processed locally, no upload
The GIF is decoded in your browser with gifuct-js, so your animation never leaves your device.
Use it to edit or extract a single moment
When you want just one pose or scene from an animation, splitting lets you grab exactly that frame instead of working with the whole loop.
Frame count can be large
Animated GIFs can contain dozens or hundreds of frames, so splitting a long animation produces many files. Confirm the frame count before splitting a very long GIF.
Editing a single frame
After splitting, edit the individual frame you need — remove a watermark, fix a typo, or adjust a color — then rebuild the animation with the corrected frame.
Study how an animation is built
Splitting a GIF into frames reveals its frame-by-frame structure, which is a useful way to learn animation timing or reverse-engineer an effect you want to recreate.
