Animated Image Editor

How to edit an animated GIF

1. Drop a GIF, animated WebP, APNG, or PNG file onto the tool, or click browse files.
2. Review the format, dimensions, frame count, total duration, and frame timeline.
3. Select a frame, shift-click for a range, or ctrl/cmd-click to add or remove individual frames.
4. Click Delete selected to remove frames, or Split before first selected to make two clips.
5. Change Playback speed, toggle Reverse or Boomerang, and choose Infinite or Fixed under Loop count.
6. Check the sequence with Play, Step back, or Step forward, then select an export control.

Edit animated WebP and APNG frames

Each timeline thumbnail shows a frame index and its delay in milliseconds. The delay is displayed for reference. You change timing for the whole sequence with Playback speed, which accepts 0.25x through 4x; preset buttons set 0.5x, 1x, 2x, or 4x.

A static PNG appears as PNG (not animated) with one frame. Delete selected refuses an attempt to remove every frame. For Split before first selected, select a frame after the first one. The tool then creates Before and After clips.

Input:  frame 0, frame 1, frame 2, frame 3
Action: select frame 2, then Split before first selected
Output: Before = frames 0-1; After = frames 2-3

GIF frame editor export options

Reverse reverses the current sequence. Boomerang appends the middle frames in reverse, so playback returns toward the first frame. Choose Infinite or Fixed under Loop count. The fixed count accepts values from 1 through 999. Restore previous timeline restores the previous delete or order change.

Export as GIF and Export as APNG create animated downloads. Export frames as ZIP puts the frames into individual PNG files, without the animation timing. After a split, use Download "Before" as GIF or Download "After" as GIF. Animated WebP input can be edited, then exported as GIF, APNG, or a ZIP of PNG frames.

GIF export reduces colors to a 256-color palette, and the tool warns when a frame has more than 256 colors. APNG export preserves transparency. GIF export supports fully transparent or fully opaque pixels and may flatten partial transparency.

Use the frame timeline for these edits

Remove a hold frame by selecting its thumbnail and clicking Delete selected. The timeline keeps the remaining frames in their current order.

To make two clips, select the first frame of the second clip and click Split before first selected. Continue with either clip or download each split as a GIF.

For an animation with transparency, read the warning before choosing GIF or APNG export. APNG keeps the alpha channel; GIF can flatten partially transparent pixels.

Choose a still-image editor for stills

For a still image, browse the Image Edit Tools category. Image Cropper handles a single-image crop, while Aspect Ratio Checker checks or crops to a preset or free-form ratio. Image Effects Editor applies blur, pixelation, color adjustments, borders, padding, rounded corners, and shadows.
