1. What is the GIF Frame Extractor?

Pull every frame out of an animated GIF to edit them, pick the best still, or reuse them in another animation. Each frame is rebuilt correctly (including frames that only update part of the image) and saved as a PNG, with its original delay shown.

2. How to use the GIF Frame Extractor

Here is the whole process, step by step. It takes less than a minute from opening the tool to seeing your result.

1Open the tool and use the on-screen controls — everything runs in your browser.
2Copy or download your result with the buttons under the output.

Your result updates as you type — there is nothing to press and nothing to wait for.

Everything runs in your browser — your files and text never leave your device.

3. What you can do with it

Save your result with the "Download all (ZIP)" button under the tool.

4. Tips for best results

Your text never leaves your device — The tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so you can paste private documents without worry. That also means there is no account to create and no file to upload.
It works on your phone too — Open the tool in any modern browser on Android or iPhone. The layout adjusts to the screen and everything works the same way on a small screen as on a desktop.
Save your result before you leave — Use the "Download all (ZIP)" button to keep a copy.
