Reading the frame delays
Each GIF frame has its own delay, shown in seconds such as 0.10s. If most frames show 0.10s, the GIF plays at about 10 frames a second. A frame with 1.00s or more is a pause. Use these numbers when you rebuild the animation.
Editing frames and rebuilding
Extract all frames, edit the ones you want to change, then bring the files into the GIF maker in the same order. The numbers in the file names, 001, 002 and so on, keep the order clear when sorted.
Why PNG for frames
PNG is lossless and keeps transparent areas, which matters when a GIF has a clear background. JPG would turn those areas white and add compression marks around edges. PNG files are larger, so a long GIF makes a large ZIP.
Complete frames, not fragments
GIF files often store only the area that changed between frames. A tool that exports those parts gives you small pieces. Here each frame is rebuilt as the browser shows it, so every PNG is the complete picture.
Using frames as a sprite sheet source
Extract the frames, then place them in a grid in an image editor or with the photo grid maker, in order. Keep the cell size equal for every frame so a game engine can step through them evenly.
Large GIFs
Up to 1000 frames are read. GIFs with large pixel sizes make heavy PNGs, so select Every 2nd if you only need a sample, or choose single frames by hand.
