How this works
This tool reads your GIF's frame count and timing directly from the file, then plays it in your browser and captures exactly the frames in your chosen range using precisely-timed canvas snapshots — with your browser's own, already-correct GIF renderer handling all the actual image decoding. Those captured frames are then re-encoded into a new GIF using this platform's own from-scratch, independently verified GIF89a encoder, the same one used by GIF Maker and Video to GIF.
Common use cases
- Cut a shorter clip out of a longer animated GIF
- Extract just a few frames from a GIF
- Trim a GIF down before re-sharing it
Frequently asked questions
Is this GIF cutter free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no watermark.
Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. It is cut entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.
How do I know which frames to choose?
The tool shows the total frame count once you upload your GIF, so you can pick a start and end frame within that range.
Is there a limit on how many frames I can extract?
Yes, up to 100 frames at once.
Will the cut GIF still loop?
Yes, the output GIF loops continuously, the standard behavior for animated GIFs.
