GIF Pauser

Online GIF Maker

This online utility lets you pause an animated GIF at the selected frame and extract it as a still image. By default, it's the first frame, but once a GIF is uploaded, you'll see the total frame count, and in the tool options, you can enter the exact frame number you need to freeze the GIF at. You can also control the GIF's playback speed and see GIF frame metadata in the options block. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

What Is a GIF Pauser?

This browser-based program lets you freeze a GIF animation and view its individual frames. Often, GIF files play too quickly, making it easy to miss important details, but with this tool, you can easily stop the animation at the precise moment and view a single frame. In GIF animations, every frame has its own sequential number, so to pause, simply enter the necessary frame number in the tool options. Most GIFs play at a speed of 50-100 milliseconds per frame, which creates a quick frame transition and a near live-video effect. For this reason, we've added an option that allows you to increase the frame duration. For example, you can change a GIF's playback speed to 250 milliseconds (that's 4 frames per second) or 500 milliseconds (2 frames per second). This way, there will be an extra pause between the frames and you'll be able to see how the frames change one after another, making it easier to find the frame you're interested in. If the GIF is very long and you need to freeze it at the end, then it may be useful to view frames in reverse order. For this reason, we've added a checkbox that plays a GIF in reverse. You can also see advanced frame meta information in the third block of options, which prints the total number of frames in your animated GIF, the frame dimensions (so you know the download size of the paused frame), and the currently playing frame.

Pause a Calendar GIF at a Specific Date

In this example, we upload an animated calendar, where the dates change by tearing off calendar pages. We pause the animation at frame 26, where the calendar clearly shows December 13. The selected frame appears in the tool's output window, making it easy to download as a separate PNG image. (Source: Pexels.)

Catch Link Mid-Spin

In this example, we use a GIF of Link performing his Spin Attack from the game Super Smash Bros. Melee. We intentionally slow down the GIF by increasing the frame duration to 300 milliseconds (about 3 frames per second), giving us more time to examine each frame. This allows us to easily find the attack's peak moment and freeze the GIF on frame 27. (Source: Nintendo.)

Capture Frame 1 from a Static GIF

In this example, the input GIF is a static image, meaning it has no animation, which in turn means it's already paused (there is just one frame so there is nothing to play). Even though it doesn't play, we still use the tool to explicitly capture and extract the first frame. As a result, the output is a single image file, which converts the static GIF of a brown Pomeranian into the PNG format. (Source: Pexels.)
