Single image of frames from animated GIF image

[society]

Greetings,

I'm trying to find a utility that has the ability to generate a single image of frames (with user variable rows/columns?) from an animated GIF. Currently, I have been doing this manually and it is time consuming. Any input appreciatied.

Thanks much

Welcome to WebmasterWorld society.
Are you saying that you lay out all the frames from an animated gif in a line or column of seperate tables? If so, why don't you just stick them together as 1 and have a single table for it?

On reading again it look like you were asking just that, as in sticking them altogether and it shouldn't be hard to find freeware that does it.

Unfortunately, my search through the various freeware animated GIF editing applications I could find came up without this function, hence the post here.

If anyone has happened to ever have seen a function like this in any software/executable, I'de love to know.

Thanks

This really is a basic process to do, and most graph editing software should be able to do it (by opening the animated gifs frames, and arranging them in one image). Have a look here [wantdbest.com] for many free progs, but you'll have to do the time researching and installing the ones that look like they might do the job.

Sorry again, I see that you want to do it by a couple of clicks too. You could always open it up in an editor that displays the timeline, and take a screen capture and cut off the rest of the screen, I could do that in under a minute.

Irfanview is a great shareware program that can do what you are trying. It will extract all the frames from an animation and then you can create an html page with image thumbnails tabled in rows and columns.
