Tips for GIF to Sprite Sheet Converter
What happens to GIF frame timing?
The converter decodes the images in order. Its preview uses one selected FPS for every frame, even if the original GIF had uneven delays. The sprite sheet itself is a still PNG; set playback timing in your game or animation system rather than expecting it to be stored in the image.
Why do some extracted frames look different?
GIFs may store only the changed rectangle for a frame and use disposal rules to clear or restore earlier pixels. This converter composites those changes into full-size frames before packing. GIF also has a limited color palette and only binary transparency, so a PNG atlas cannot recover smooth alpha edges or colors absent from the original GIF.
Prepare the atlas for your engine
Remove duplicate or unwanted frames, confirm their order, and choose a grid when the resulting frames all share the same dimensions. Use auto-pack if you need a smaller atlas for differently sized images. Export the PNG with its metadata bundle when the engine needs coordinates rather than assuming equal cells.

FAQ
Does every GIF frame become a sprite?
The converter decodes animated GIF frames into the workspace, where you can inspect and reorder them before export.
Can I export transparency?
Transparent GIF pixels stay transparent in the PNG sheet. GIF itself cannot represent smooth partial transparency.
What if the GIF is too large?
The workspace supports up to 200 frames and a 4096 × 4096 pixel sheet; browser memory can be a practical limit sooner.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The free tools decode, preview and export your files inside your browser. Closing this page clears the current workspace.
