Frequently Asked Questions

Extracting frames is useful for animation analysis, editing individual frames, creating sprite sheets for games, or using specific frames for design projects. It also helps when you want to modify just parts of an animation or understand how it was created.

Choose PNG for highest quality with perfect transparency preservation (best for editing). WebP offers a good balance between quality and file size. JPG provides the smallest file size but doesn't support transparency and may lose some image quality.

No. Our tool preserves all timing information in a metadata.json file that's included with your download. This file contains the duration each frame should be displayed, making it possible to reconstruct the animation if needed.

There's no specific limit to the number of frames, but there is a 20MB file size limit for the original GIF to ensure server performance. Most GIFs with hundreds of frames will work fine as long as they're under this size limit.
