How to Split a GIF

Add your GIF. Drop an animated GIF into the box, browse for it or paste it with Ctrl+V. The frames load into the timeline in a second.

Choose how to split. Equal parts, every N seconds, every N frames, or your own cut points on the timeline.

Check the parts. The cut lines appear on the timeline. Click a part in the list to play just that part.

Split and download. Press Split GIF, check the real file sizes and download each GIF - or all of them as one ZIP.

Starting from a video? Make the GIF with Video to GIF or MP4 to GIF first, then split it here.

Four Ways to Split a GIF

Pick the tab that matches the parts you want.

Equal

Split the GIF into 2 to 100 parts of the same length - by time or by frame count.

Seconds

Start a new part every few seconds. Great for story slides, which play 15 seconds each.

Frames

Start a new part every N frames. Handy for sprite animations and frame-exact loops.

Cut points

Place your own cuts on the timeline, for example between two scenes of a reaction GIF.

Split into GIFs or into Images?

"Split a GIF" can mean two things, and ConvertICO has a tool for each.

Lossless, Frame by Frame

A GIF is a stack of pictures, and each one has its own delay.

The splitter copies the frames of every part straight from your file, so nothing is re-compressed. Each part keeps the original delays and loops like the original.

Many GIFs only redraw the area that moves. When a part starts on such a frame, its first frame is rebuilt in full, so no part starts with holes or ghost trails.

What to Do with the Parts

Too heavy to share? Shrink each part with Compress GIF, or make it smaller on screen with the GIF Resizer.

Want them back together, in a new order? Join parts with the GIF Merger.

Add a caption to one part? Use Add Text to GIF.

Posting on social media? A video is often far lighter - convert a part with GIF to MP4.

Want a part to play once, or three times? Change it with the GIF Loop Changer, or play it backwards with GIF Reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your GIF in the box, pick how to split it - equal parts, every N seconds, every N frames or at your own cut points - and press Split GIF. Each part downloads as its own animated GIF, and more than two parts come as one ZIP.

No. The frames of every part are copied byte for byte from your GIF, so colours and timing stay identical. Only when a GIF redraws just a small area each frame is the first frame of a part rebuilt in full, with its exact colours.

Yes. Every frame keeps its own delay, and each part loops the same way as the original. You can make the parts loop forever or play once under Loop. To change the speed afterwards, use the GIF Speed Changer.

The GIF Splitter cuts one GIF into several shorter animated GIFs. The GIF Frame Extractor splits a GIF into still images - one PNG or JPG per frame.

Need just one part? The GIF Cutter trims a GIF to an exact start and end.

Yes. Pick Cut points, move the playhead on the timeline and press Add cut (or the M key). Cuts always land between two frames, and you can remove any cut by clicking its chip.

No. The GIF Splitter works entirely in your browser, so your GIF never leaves your device. Your last few parts are kept in your own browser, so you can download them again later.

Up to 100 MB and 5,000 frames, and up to 100 parts. Very large GIFs depend on your device memory. If your GIF is heavy, shrink it first with Compress GIF or the GIF Resizer.
