GIF to PSD Converter – Professional Animation to Photoshop Conversion

Our free GIF to PSD converter allows you to quickly and easily transform your GIF animations into Photoshop format. Whether you are a graphic designer needing to edit an animation frame-by-frame, or an animator wanting to use advanced Photoshop tools, our tool offers the ideal solution.

Why Convert GIF to PSD?

GIF and PSD formats serve different purposes. GIF files are web-optimized animations with a limited color palette, whereas PSD files are layered Photoshop documents with deep editing capabilities. Converting GIF to PSD allows you to:

  • Edit each frame separately using Photoshop tools
  • Apply complex effects and filters to your animation
  • Combine multiple animations into a single composition
  • Create variations of the animation with different visual styles

  1. Upload your GIF file: Drag and drop the GIF or click to select it
  2. Frame Extraction: Our converter extracts every frame of the animation
