How to Get Every Frame of a GIF
Three steps, and nothing is uploaded.
Drop, paste or choose an animated GIF, WebP or PNG, or a short MP4 or WebM clip. Every frame is read on your device.
Step through every frame and tick the ones you want, or keep a range, every nth frame and no repeats.
Save one frame, or every picked frame as PNG, JPG or WebP in a ZIP, numbered as in the GIF, with a timing file if you need it.
What This GIF Splitter Does Best
Six things it does well, from one frame of a sticker to every frame of a clip.
GIFA frame by frame player
Play, pause and step through the GIF frame by frame with the buttons, the slider or the arrow keys, at quarter, half, normal or double speed. Each frame shows its number and time.
Whole frames, every time
Frames are rebuilt as a viewer shows them, so a GIF that stores only the changed pixels still splits into complete pictures.
Only the frames you want
Tick frames by hand, keep a range, take every nth frame or leave out repeated frames before you split the GIF into frames.
PNG, JPG or WebP
Save frames as PNG with transparency kept, as JPG on the background colour you choose, or as WebP, at 25% to 400% of their size.
Named and timed
Every file is named by its frame number in the GIF, and the optional timing file lists how long each frame shows, so you can rebuild the animation.
Free and private
The GIF splitter runs entirely in your browser: no upload, no account, no watermark, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
Guide: Extract Frames from a GIF Cleanly
Five short tips for clean frames from any animation.
Find the frame you need
Pause the player and step with the arrow keys or the slider. The frame number and its time show under the picture, and the frame list marks where you are.
Keep transparency or add a background
PNG and WebP keep transparent pixels. For JPG, or for a solid background in any format, choose the colour that suits where the frames will go.
Split long animations in parts
For a long GIF or a clip, set From frame and To frame, or take every second frame. Leaving out repeated frames drops the pauses a GIF stores as copies.
Choose the size
Shrink large frames to half or a quarter for lighter files, or enlarge pixel art 2× or 4× with crisp edges. The frame size shows before you download.
Put the frames back together
Turn on the timing file to keep each frame's time. To place the frames on one sheet instead, open the same GIF in GIF to sprite sheet with one click.
Who Splits GIFs into Frames
Common reasons to split a GIF.

Study an animation frame by frame, retouch single frames and build them back into a loop.
Game and app makers
Turn animated icons, stickers and effects into numbered frames for an engine or an app.
Teachers and writers
Show each step of an animation as its own picture in a lesson, a slide or an article.
