Convert optimised gif to single frames using ImageMagick

Question

I have some creative Commons gifs I would like to use, but I need them as single frames. However, the gif is optimised, so when I pull it apart via

convert the.gif frames/%02d.tga

Some of the images are just fragments out of place, and way smaller than the original one.

So is there a way to render the single frames as they're viewed in a viewer?

Answer 1

you may want to add a -coalesce option to your command: convert -coalesce the.gif frames/%02d.tga
