GIF to Frames — Split an Animated GIF into PNG Images

Split an animated GIF into its individual frames and save them as lossless PNG images, entirely in your browser. Grab a single frame or download every frame at once in a ZIP — no upload, no watermark, and your GIF never leaves your device.

GIF to Frames splits an animated GIF into its individual frames and exports each one as a lossless PNG — entirely in your browser. Unlike most online frame extractors, this one never uploads your file: the GIF is decoded frame by frame, every frame is coalesced into a full picture (so frames that only stored the part that changed come out complete), and each is encoded as a full-resolution PNG with its transparency intact. You see every frame in a numbered grid with its display time, and you can download a single frame or grab them all at once in a ZIP. Because PNG is lossless and has no per-frame colour limit, the extracted frames are higher fidelity than the GIF itself. There is no watermark and no sign-up, and your GIF never leaves your device — the privacy-first alternative to ezgif and other upload-based frame extractors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I split a GIF into separate images?

Upload your animated GIF and the tool instantly decodes every frame and shows them in a grid. Click Download on any frame to save it as a PNG, or click Download all to get a ZIP containing every frame — all without leaving your browser.

What format are the extracted frames?

Every frame is exported as a PNG at the GIF's full resolution. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so each frame keeps its exact pixels and any transparent areas — there's no 256-colour-per-frame limit like the GIF format imposes, so the frames can actually look better than the source.

Are the frames numbered in the right order?

Yes. Frames are named with a zero-padded number (frame-01, frame-02, …) in playback order, so they sort correctly in your file manager and inside the ZIP. Each card also shows that frame's display time in milliseconds.

Is my GIF uploaded to a server?

Never. Decoding the GIF and encoding every PNG happen locally with JavaScript in your browser. Your GIF is not uploaded, there is no sign-up, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
