GIF Splitter — Extract Frames to PNG & ZIP
Deconstruct animated GIFs into high-resolution, full-canvas PNG images frame by frame. Preview every individual frame in a responsive visual grid, download single keyframes instantly, or export the entire frame sequence packaged in a clean ZIP archive named frame-0001.png onward. All extraction runs on your local CPU without sending media over the internet.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What format are the extracted frames?
- Extracted frames are lossless 32-bit PNG images, preserving original colors and any transparent pixels.
- How are extracted frames named inside the ZIP?
- Files are zero-padded in sequential order: frame-0001.png, frame-0002.png, making them ready for video editors, sprite sheets, or image sequences.
- Can I download just a single frame?
- Yes. Each frame in the extracted grid has its own direct download button so you can grab single stills without opening the ZIP.
- Is there a limit on how many frames can be split?
- The tool supports GIFs up to 50 MB in file size and 400 MB decoded memory, handling animations with hundreds of frames comfortably.
Private by design. Frame extraction, PNG rendering, and ZIP packaging run entirely in your browser — your GIF is never uploaded to a server.
