Extract frames from a GIF

GIF Frame Extractor: what it does and when to use it

The GIF Frame Extractor takes an animated GIF, animated WebP or AVIF apart and saves every frame as a separate image in PNG, JPG or WebP, downloaded together in a numbered zip.

Each frame is rebuilt as a complete picture. That matters because GIFs often store only the part of each frame that changed; opening the raw frame would show a fragment. Rebuilt frames are ready to edit, to use as stills, or to reassemble in a different order or at a different speed with the GIF Maker.

It relies on the browser's built-in image decoder for animations, which Chrome, Edge and Opera have today and Firefox and Safari do not yet; in those, the tool says so rather than failing silently. PNG keeps frames exactly as they were; JPG and WebP make smaller files for photographic frames. Long animations produce hundreds of frames, which takes a while on a phone. Extracting frames from other people's animations does not give you the right to reuse them.
