Questions

How does frame extraction work?
The tool loads your GIF into an image element, renders it on a Canvas, and lets you capture the currently displayed frame as a PNG. You can step through the animation and save individual frames.
Can I extract all frames automatically?
The tool captures frames as they appear during playback. For full automatic extraction of every frame, a dedicated GIF binary parser is needed. This simplified tool lets you manually capture any frame you see.
What format are the extracted frames saved in?
Each captured frame is saved as a PNG image, which preserves full quality without compression artifacts. PNGs are compatible with all image editors and browsers.
Is there a file size limit for GIFs in the frame extractor?
There is no hard limit, but very large GIFs (over 50 MB) may cause the browser tab to slow down or run out of memory. For best performance, use GIFs under 20 MB.
Is the GIF frame extractor safe and private?
Yes. Your GIF file is processed entirely in the browser and never uploaded to any server. All frame capture happens on your device using the Canvas API.
