Capture GIF Frames Extractor

Taking an animated GIF and saving every frame of its animation as a separate still image. Each frame represents one moment in the sequence, and can be edited, analysed, or repurposed independently.

It uses the browser’s native ImageDecoder API (WebCodecs). The decoder reads the GIF bytes, walks each frame record, and hands us a VideoFrame we draw to a canvas. That is true frame-by-frame extraction, not a snapshot of the animated <img> element.

Chrome 94+, Edge 94+, Safari 17+, and Opera 80+. Firefox has only recently begun shipping ImageDecoder; older versions trigger the fallback snapshot path with a visible warning.

PNG (lossless, keeps transparency) or JPEG (smaller, drops the alpha channel). The JPEG quality slider lets you trade file size for fidelity between 40% and 100%.

There is no hard file-size cap, but the tool refuses GIFs with more than 500 frames to keep memory usage safe in the browser. Most practical GIFs are well under that number.

Yes. Each exported frame is accompanied by the duration in milliseconds reported by the GIF decoder, shown in the thumbnail and stored in the stats. Use those timings to reconstruct the animation in video editors if needed.

PNG output is lossless – you get an exact byte-accurate copy of each decoded frame. JPEG re-encodes with the quality slider you chose; setting it to 100 is near-lossless but still larger than PNG for simple flat-colour GIFs.

Yes. After the first page load, everything runs locally. Disconnect from the internet and the tool keeps extracting frames.

Yes on both counts. The GIF never leaves your browser – no upload, no server call, no analytics on the file. The tool is free with no sign-up or usage caps.

Not in this tool. Use a companion GIF creator that accepts a folder of PNGs plus a per-frame delay list – the stats line and per-frame “Nms” readouts give you all the timing data you need.
