    Hello Hope your doing well Thanks for reaching out!

    1. Load the GIF

    Image gif = Image.FromFile("your.gif");

    1. Get Frame Count

    FrameDimension dimension = new FrameDimension(gif.FrameDimensionsList[0]); int frameCount = gif.GetFrameCount(dimension);

    1. Select a Frame

    gif.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, 0); // Select first frame

    1. Convert Frame to Editable Bitmap

    GIF frames are not editable directly. So we copy the frame to a new bitmap:

    Bitmap editableFrame = new Bitmap(gif.Width, gif.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb); using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(editableFrame)) {     g.DrawImage(gif, 0, 0); }

    1. Change Pixel

    Now you can safely change a pixel:

    editableFrame.SetPixel(10, 10, Color.Red); // Example: set pixel at (10,10) to red

    1. Save the Edited Frame

    You can save the modified frame as a new image

    editableFrame.Save("edited_frame.png", ImageFormat.Png);
