PDF to GIF, explained
Convert PDF to GIF directly on your device. Create a still GIF for a workflow that requires a GIF image. Choose pages and resolution before rendering.
Choose PDF files and confirm the preview and page count.
Choose a page range and resolution, then keep GIF selected.
Convert and download the GIF results. Multiple results can be saved together as a ZIP.
Reading your PDF source
Choose All pages or Selected pages with a range such as 1, 3–5. Each selected page is rendered locally, in document order, and filenames keep the original page numbers. A PDF can contain at most 50 pages.
Settings for GIF output
GIF output uses a fixed 256-entry palette and a single transparent palette index. Partly transparent pixels become transparent or opaque, so soft edges and smooth gradients can change visibly.
Dimensions in PDF to GIF
Choose Screen (108 PPI), 150 PPI or 300 PPI and review each selected page’s estimated pixel dimensions. Resolution controls rendered pixels, independently of compression quality. Optional resize in Advanced Settings applies afterward; the preview shows final output dimensions as well. PDF pages are rendered onto white. ICO output then fits that raster into 256 × 256 pixels.
What survives the conversion
This tool writes one still GIF frame. There is no animation, frame-rate control or JPEG-style quality slider. Inspect banding and compare PNG for detailed graphics. Inspect small text, symbols and fonts. Rendering flattens document structure: text is no longer selectable, links stop working, and no OCR or extraction of original embedded images is performed.
Batch processing and device limits
Each document must fit 64 MB and 50 pages. Selected pages are checked before full rendering against 24 megapixels, 16,384 pixels per side and a 256 MB estimated pixel-buffer budget. Lower resolution if necessary. PDF batches render sequentially; actual browser memory may exceed the estimate. Total outputs must fit 256 MB.
