Pages are rendered and quantized to an optimized 256-color palette.
The binary GIF bitstream is generated locally in memory.
Download your converted GIF images individually or in a ZIP.
Deep-Dive Technical Explanation
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses 8-bit indexed color and LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) lossless compression. During PDF to GIF conversion, our engine samples the rendered canvas pixels, computes an optimal 256-color palette using color quantization algorithms (e.g. median cut or NeuQuant), maps each pixel to the nearest palette index, and applies LZW dictionary compression. This generates ultra-compatible images suitable for legacy systems, animated previews, and lightweight messaging.
Quick, lightweight, and completely private. Convert PDF pages to GIF in seconds without installing extra software or sending data to third-party servers.
100% Privacy Secure
Our tool compiles and updates document objects in active browser thread buffers. No communication ports or file APIs are sent to any server. Your sensitive information is safely isolated.
