🏆 The original Stream Deck GIF Background Slicer — pioneered in 2024.

Developed with ❤️ by Sebastian Sperandio

What is the Stream Deck GIF Background Slicer?

The Stream Deck GIF Background Slicer is a free, open-source browser tool that turns any animated GIF into a set of perfectly-sized animated tiles for your Elgato Stream Deck. Drop in your GIF, pick your model, and download either a ZIP with all the tile GIFs or a ready-to-import .streamDeckProfile file that loads the entire animation into your device in a single click.

It is the original Stream Deck GIF background tool, online since 2024, and it now also supports the Corsair Galleon 100 SD — the only browser tool that handles its composite screen + button-grid layout in one upload.

How does it work?

  1. Pick your Stream Deck model. The tool shows the exact GIF size each model requires (Mini, MK.2, Plus, Neo, XL, or Corsair Galleon 100 SD).
  2. Upload a GIF that matches the required dimensions. The tool validates the size before processing and tells you exactly what to fix if the dimensions don't match.
  3. Click "Slice & Get Stream Deck Profile". The GIF is decoded and sliced into the right number of animated tiles entirely in your browser — your file never leaves your machine.
  4. Download the ZIP or the .streamDeckProfile file. The profile imports into the Stream Deck app with every tile pre-assigned to its button — no manual setup.

Supported devices & required GIF sizes

Each device has its own dedicated guide covering size requirements, setup steps and model-specific FAQs:

Frequently asked questions

Is the Stream Deck GIF Background Slicer free?

Yes. The tool is 100% free and open source on GitHub. No signup, no ads, no installation. You can also self-host it if you want.

Does my GIF get uploaded anywhere?

No. The entire processing happens client-side in your browser using JavaScript and in-memory canvas operations. Your GIF never leaves your machine, no server sees it.

What is a .streamDeckProfile file?

.streamDeckProfile is the official profile file format used by the Elgato Stream Deck app. It bundles button assignments, layouts and backgrounds into a single file. The Slicer generates this file with every tile of your sliced GIF pre-assigned to its matching button — so you import once and your animated background is set up across all buttons.

Can I use this with the Corsair Galleon 100 SD?

Yes. The Corsair Galleon 100 SD uses Elgato's screen technology, but it's controlled by Corsair iCUE (not the Stream Deck app). For this device, the Slicer outputs a ZIP containing one screen.gif for the top 288×192 display and 12 individual tile_r#_c#.gif files for the button grid below, ready to assign in iCUE. The .streamDeckProfile export is skipped for this device because iCUE doesn't use that format.

Why does my GIF need a specific size?

Each Stream Deck device has a fixed grid of square buttons (96×96 px each). The tool divides your GIF into that exact grid. If your GIF size doesn't match the device's expected dimensions, the tiles won't line up. The tool validates this before processing and refuses to slice incorrect sizes, so you never get a broken result.
