This online utility converts animated GIFs into raw, uncompressed BMP (bitmap) images. It works with both static and animated GIFs. If your GIF is animated, you can step through it frame-by-frame to pick the exact moment that needs to be saved as a BMP. If your GIF is transparent, you can also select a background fill color to create an opaque output BMP. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This tool lets you save individual frames (also called sprites) of an animated or static GIF as BMP (bitmap) files. While the GIF format supports multi-frame animations, indexed color palettes, and transparency, BMP is a raw, uncompressed raster format engineered for lossless storage of pixel data. Because BMP does not support animation, each exported frame is saved as a separate static image. The BMP format preserves full color space (at 24-bit depth) without introducing compression artifacts, which makes it the default choice for scenarios where exact pixel reproduction and color accuracy are critical, such as retro game graphics, pixel art preservation, and high-quality printing. When working with animated GIFs, the tool provides options to navigate through frames, preview the animation, adjust the playback speed, and even play frames in reverse if needed. This helps you pinpoint the exact frame you're looking for. Once you've found the frame, simply specify its index (position number), and it'll get converted into a BMP. For static GIFs, which contain only a single frame, the tool quickly extracts and saves the first frame in BMP format without any extra navigation steps. If your GIF has transparent areas (for example, a GIF sticker), you must specify a background fill color to replace those transparent pixels in the final BMP file (as the BMP format does not support transparency). To convert BMP back to GIF, you can use our BMP to GIF Converter tool. Gifabulous!

In this example, we're working with a fun animated GIF of a pizza being assembled, with toppings added one by one. Our goal is to save the last sprite, when the pizza is fully topped, as a bitmap image for our pizza game. To do it, we first play the animation at five frames per second (200ms per frame) and track the "GIF Frame Counter". We notice that the completed pizza appears on the final 34th sprite, so we pause the playback, enter "34" in the sprite index field in the options, and download it as a raw bitmap file.

In this example, we upload an animated GIF featuring the victory pose of Kyo Kusanagi from The King of Fighters game series. After reviewing the GIF multiple times at a reduced speed of 100ms per frame (10fps), we see that the best moment is at the 10th frame, when he holds fire in his hand. As the output BMP can't contain transparency, we choose the white color to fill all transparent pixels from the original GIF. (Source: SNK.)
This simple example converts a single-frame compressed GIF of a cat into a raw, uncompressed BMP image, containing just pixel data. Because the GIF does not contain any animation, we keep the frame index option set to its default value of "1", which exports the only frame in the file. (Source: Pexels.)
