This online utility lets you convert a GIF image into a high-contrast stencil template. You can generate animated stencils from all frames or extract a single frame to create a static stencil. You can also modify stencil and background shades and see basic GIF stats such as frame count, timing, and dimensions. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This browser-based program lets you convert any GIF file into a simplified, high-contrast stencil. A stencil reduces an image to clear, solid shapes that are suitable for cutting, printing, or masking. The tool processes the GIF frame by frame, separating the shape from the background. Opaque areas become the filled stencil region, while transparent areas form the open background space. You can control the appearance of the stencil by choosing a fill color for the stencil areas and a background color for the open space. For multi-frame GIFs, you can create an animated stencil. In this mode, each frame becomes a separate shape in a time-based sequence, allowing motion to be represented as a series of reusable forms. This is useful for frame-by-frame masking, motion planning, or sprite preparation. If needed, an animated GIF can also be converted into a static stencil by selecting any individual frame. Static GIFs, in turn, produce a single still stencil. The GIF format uses binary transparency, meaning each pixel is either fully visible or fully transparent. This behavior makes GIFs well suited for stencil work, where sharp edges and pixel precision are important. During processing, the tool also displays basic information about the GIF, such as the total number of frames, the selected frame, frame delay in milliseconds, and frame width and height. Gifabulous!

In this example, we convert a GIF of coins dropping into a wallet into a single-frame stencil. We stop the animation at frame 6, where the coins are captured mid‑fall, and convert the opaque areas in indigo against a transparent background. This produces a static stencil design suitable for cutting, masking, or print use. (Source: Pexels.)
This example transforms an entire sprite animation into an animated stencil. We load the Rebel Armor GIF from Metal Slug 3 and convert every frame into a stencil using classic colors: black for the stencil shape and transparent for the open space. Each frame becomes a reusable shape in sequence, which can be useful for analyzing sprite motion and preparing frame-by-frame masks. (Source: SNK.)
In this example, we turn a static GIF image of a ripe strawberry into a single-frame stencil. We apply a red fill to the strawberry shape and use a light green background, creating a clear, pixel-accurate form that can be used for cutting, printing, or crafting strawberry‑shaped patterns.
