About the PDF to GIF Converter
Need to turn a PDF file into GIF? This free converter changes PDF documents into GIF in a few seconds, right in your browser. People usually convert because text and images inside a PDF are hard to edit or reuse, while GIF gives you an image that plays in any chat app. GIF files open in every browser, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, email clients and PowerPoint.
Each PDF page is rendered with pdf.js, the open-source PDF engine built into Firefox, and then saved as a GIF image at the resolution you choose. Because everything happens on your own device, your documents are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for contracts, resumes, bank statements and office documents.
What to expect: every page becomes a separate GIF image (several pages are bundled in a ZIP); you can choose 72, 150 or 300 DPI and limit the conversion to specific pages.
How to use the PDF to GIF Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your PDF documents onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Choose the resolution (72, 150 or 300 DPI) and the pages to convert, or leave the page field empty for all pages.
- Press "Convert to GIF". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each GIF file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in every browser or WhatsApp to check it; your original PDF is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- GIF can only hold 256 colours, so photos may show banding; transparency is on-or-off (no soft edges).
- 150 DPI is ideal for sharing on screen; choose 300 DPI when the image will be printed or used for OCR.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the GIF to a website or government portal.

You choose it: 72 DPI for quick previews, 150 DPI for sharing on screen, or 300 DPI for print quality and OCR. An A4 page at 150 DPI is about 1240 × 1754 pixels.

Does it work on iPhone, Android and Mac?
Yes. The converter works in any modern browser, including Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, macOS and Linux. No app is needed.
What is the difference between PDF and GIF?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a fixed-layout document best suited to sharing, printing and submitting documents that must look the same everywhere. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a palette image and animation format best suited to short animations, memes, simple graphics and email-friendly moving images.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.
Can I convert PDF to GIF under a size limit such as 50 KB?
Yes. Lower the quality slider and set a maximum width (for example 800 px) to shrink the file. For an exact limit, run the result through our Compress Image to 20 KB, 50 KB or 100 KB tools, which find the best quality that fits automatically.

What is a PDF file?
PDF was created by Adobe in 1993 so a document looks exactly the same on every device and printer. Its fixed layout makes it the standard for forms, invoices, e-books and official documents, but it is hard to edit.
What is a GIF file?
GIF dates back to 1987 and is limited to a palette of 256 colours per frame. That makes it poor for photos but perfect for simple animations, reaction clips and memes, which is why GIF is still everywhere on chat apps and social media.
