GIF Frame Extractor (Go)

A small, fast Go CLI tool that extracts frames from an animated GIF and saves them as PNG files.

It supports:

• Raw frame extraction (exact stored frames)
• Composited frame rendering (what you visually see when the GIF plays)
• Shorthand and long CLI flags
• Correct handling of GIF disposal methods
