GIF to Sprite Sheet
Extract all frames from an animated GIF and combine them into a single sprite sheet image
GIF to Sprite Sheet - Export GIF Frames as Sprite Image Free
EzyIMG's GIF to Sprite Sheet tool extracts every frame from an animated GIF and arranges them into a single PNG sprite sheet image. Choose a horizontal or grid layout by setting the number of columns. Sprite sheets are used in CSS web animation, game development, and UI design. A single image load replaces many individual frame requests, and the animation is driven by shifting the CSS background-position property.
All processing runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly, and your GIF is never sent to any server. No account is required and the output PNG has no watermark. The tool uses ffmpeg to extract frames and the browser's canvas API to assemble them into a grid, so the output dimensions are always an exact multiple of the individual frame dimensions.
