split · edit · rejoin
GIF Tools is a free online tool that lets you split any animated GIF into individual PNG frames, edit them in any image editor, and rejoin them back into a smooth animated GIF. Perfect for removing backgrounds from GIFs, touching up individual frames, or creating custom animations.
Simply upload your GIF file and click "Split into Frames". Your browser will download a ZIP file containing every frame as a PNG image, along with a timing file to preserve the original animation speed.
After editing your PNG frames, upload them all together using the "Rejoin GIF" tab. GIF Tools will stitch them back together into an animated GIF, preserving your original frame timing.
Use GIF Tools to extract frames, remove the background from each frame using any free image editor, then rejoin them into a transparent animated GIF.
