Full images, not small patches
A GIF may store only the pixels that change. The extractor combines those updates and applies disposal instructions so each PNG contains the complete visible frame.

From motion to still images
Split a GIF into frames in three steps.
Turn a reaction GIF into a still image, find a thumbnail for a tutorial, or inspect an animation frame by frame. The splitter gives you the complete images in their original order.
Read the step-by-step guide- 01
Choose a GIF to split
Drop your GIF onto the tool or choose a file from your device. The browser separates the animation into full frames without uploading it.
- 02
Preview and select frames
Play the preview, use the arrows or slider, or click a thumbnail to find the moment you need. Tick individual frames to include them in a selection.
- 03
Download PNG frames
Save the current frame as one PNG, download your selection, or get every frame in a numbered ZIP. Each PNG is a static image at the original dimensions.
Complete frames. Original dimensions.
Useful still images from a moving picture.
Transparent PNG output
Transparent areas stay transparent. The checkerboard helps you see them in the preview and is not included in your downloads.
Local processing, no watermark
Your browser decodes the GIF and builds the downloads on your device. The original file is unchanged, and no watermark is added.
Good to know
GIF splitter questions, answered.
How to split GIFs, extract a still image and save your frames.
How do I split a GIF into frames?
Choose a GIF and wait for its frames to appear. Preview the images, then download all frames to get a ZIP of numbered PNG files. You can also save the current frame or select a few images to download together.
Does this GIF splitter create shorter animated GIFs?
This tool splits a GIF into static PNG frames. It does not cut the animation into shorter GIF clips or a grid of animated tiles. The ZIP contains individual images that you can use in another editor.
Can I extract a single frame from a GIF?
Yes. Click a thumbnail or use the arrows and slider to preview the frame you want, then download that frame as a PNG. To extract several frames, tick their checkboxes and download the selection as a ZIP.
Will PNG frames keep their quality and transparency?
The GIF frame extractor rebuilds each complete image at the original dimensions. Lossless PNG output preserves its decoded colors and transparent areas. The preview checkerboard is not included, and extraction cannot restore detail already lost in the GIF.
Does the GIF splitter upload my files?
No. Your browser reads the GIF, extracts its frames and creates the downloads on your device. The optional sample is downloaded from this site; your own GIF and its images are not sent to a server.
Is the GIF splitter free, and what are its limits?
It is free, with no account or watermark. Open one GIF at a time, up to 30 MB and 1,000 frames. Decoded-pixel safeguards may reject a large animation below 30 MB. A ZIP can contain up to 128 MB of PNG data; download smaller selections if needed.
Why can some split frames look identical?
A GIF may repeat a frame or change only a tiny area between images. Every exported PNG contains the full visible frame, including pixels retained from earlier frames. Similar-looking images may still have different recorded delays.
Can I split a GIF on my phone?
Yes. Open the site in a modern browser with JavaScript enabled, choose a GIF from your device and download PNG frames or a ZIP. Large animations need more memory. Open the ZIP with your device's Files app or an archive utility.
