GIF to Image Sequence

How GIF to Image works

An animated GIF is really one file bundling multiple frames, each carrying its own small color palette (up to 256 colors), a display duration, and a disposal instruction that tells a viewer whether to clear, keep, or restore the canvas before drawing the next frame. GIF to Image reads that frame data directly in your browser, decodes each frame in sequence, composites it against the correct background according to its disposal method, and draws the result onto a canvas exactly as it would look mid-animation. Each canvas is then encoded as its own PNG, JPEG, or WebP file, so a 40-frame GIF becomes 40 separate still images. What it will not do: it cannot upscale, sharpen, or add color depth beyond what the source GIF already had — GIF is limited to an 8-bit, 256-color palette per frame, so extracted frames inherit any banding or dithering already baked into the file, regardless of which output format you choose. It also does not preserve per-frame timing once frames become static images, and it produces exactly one image per stored frame — it never merges frames together or invents an in-between frame that wasn't in the original.
