PDF to GIF Converter

Convert PDF pages into GIFs, or the whole document into one looping animation.

PDF to GIF Converter runs entirely in your browser. The PDF is parsed on your own device with pdf.js, each selected page is rendered to a canvas and encoded as GIF. Nothing is uploaded, which is the reason to use this on a contract, a payslip or a medical letter.

Frequently asked questions

How are 16 million colours squeezed into 256?

By median-cut quantisation: the colour cube is repeatedly split where the pixels actually are, so the palette is spent on the colours the page uses rather than on an even spread. Text and flat artwork survive this almost perfectly; photographs and gradients band.

Can I make the whole PDF one animation?

Yes — switch on "Animate" and every selected page becomes a frame in a single looping GIF at 1.2 seconds per page, sharing one palette so the file stays small.
