Can I export multiple frames as PNG?

Currently one frame at a time is exported. For all frames as PNG, use the GIF Splitter tool.

Is transparency preserved in the exported PNG?

Yes. GIF transparency is converted to PNG alpha transparency, preserving all transparent areas.

What is the output resolution?

The PNG is exported at the exact same resolution as the GIF canvas. No upscaling or downscaling is applied.

Does exporting a frame affect the original GIF?

No. The GIF is only read — no modification occurs. Your original file is untouched.

Which frame should I choose?

Use the frame slider to preview each frame and pick the one you want. The preview updates in real time as you move the slider.

Can I edit the exported PNG?

Yes. Once downloaded, the PNG is a standard image file you can edit in any image editor.

Why does the exported frame look different from what I see in the browser?

GIF frames use patching — each frame may only contain changed pixels. The tool composites frames correctly before exporting.

Is there a quality difference between the GIF frame and the PNG?

PNG is lossless and supports full color. The exported PNG will look exactly as the GIF frame appears, but without GIF's 256-color palette limitation being re-applied.

What if I need a JPEG instead of PNG?

Currently only PNG export is supported since it preserves transparency. JPEG export (without transparency) may be added in a future update.
