How to Extract Frames From a GIF

July 20, 2026 · AXS GIF Team

Sometimes you don't want the animation — you want a single frame as a still, or all the frames so you can edit them. Pulling them out of a GIF takes seconds.

Get every frame as an image

  1. Open GIF to Images and add your GIF.
  2. Each frame is extracted as a separate PNG.
  3. Download them all in a ZIP.

PNG keeps every frame lossless, so nothing softens. If you'd rather have lighter, photo-style stills, GIF to JPG exports the frames as JPGs instead.

Grab a single still

Extract the frames, then keep only the one you want — handy for a thumbnail, a cover image or a screenshot of a specific moment.

Edit and rebuild

A common workflow is to extract the frames, tweak them (crop, recolour, annotate), and then stitch them back into a new animation with Images to GIF. You control the order and speed when you rebuild, so you can retime the animation while you're at it.

Everything runs in your browser, so the GIF and its frames stay on your device.
