What the GIF Splitter does
Break an animated GIF into its individual frames and download them together as a ZIP file. Each frame is saved as a complete image, even when the GIF only stores the changed area of a frame.
Options
- Frame format: PNG keeps exact colors and transparency; JPG gives smaller files.
Good to know
GIFs with hundreds of frames produce large ZIP files.
How to use the GIF Splitter

Supported formats
- GIF supports simple animation and up to 256 colors per frame. It is universally supported but produces large files. More about the GIF format.
- PNG is a lossless format that supports full transparency. Best for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges. More about the PNG format.
- ZIP archives bundle several files into one download.
