How do I extract individual images from an animated GIF?

Upload your GIF into the GIF Frame Extractor. The tool decodes all animation frames into separate PNG or JPG images, allowing you to preview every frame and download them individually or as a single ZIP archive.

Can I extract specific frames or select a range of frames?

Yes. You can click on any individual frame to save it, or select frame ranges (e.g., frames 10 to 30) for batch export.

What image formats can I export GIF frames as?

You can export extracted frames as lossless PNG images (preserving transparency) or high-quality JPG images.

Does the frame extractor preserve GIF transparency?

Yes. When exporting as PNG, transparent background layers and alpha channels from the GIF89a frames are fully preserved.

Can I see the exact millisecond delay of each extracted frame?

Yes. The inspector displays the exact frame duration (in centiseconds and milliseconds) alongside frame index numbers and cumulative timestamps.
