Designers checking timing, developers debugging GIF rendering, and anyone who wants a still picture from a GIF.

Features and Limitations
Features
- Frame table with delay, the delay browsers actually use, frame area, disposal method and transparency.
- Summary with dimensions, frame count, duration, frame rate and loop count.
- Each frame exported as a complete composited PNG, not just the changed patch.
- Player with stepping and a frame strip; never autoplays.
Limitations
- Limits: 20 MB and 500 frames.
- Comments and other non-image blocks in the GIF are not shown.
- Processing happens on your device, so very large files depend on your browser's available memory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a frame show 0 ms delay but play slower?
Browsers display delays under 20 ms as 100 ms. The table shows both the stored and the effective value.
Are the saved PNGs full frames?
Yes. Each PNG is the whole picture as it appears at that moment, including pixels kept from earlier frames.
What does “disposal” mean?
It tells the player what to do after a frame: keep it, clear its area to the background, or restore the previous picture.
Is my GIF uploaded?
No, it is decoded in your browser.
