Convert PDF to GIF

PDF to GIF renders the pages of a PDF with Mozilla’s pdf.js engine and turns each page into a frame of an animated GIF. Choose a page range (up to 200 pages), how long each page shows (0.1–10 s) and the output width — ideal for turning slide decks, flyers, menus or comics into an auto-playing preview. A one-page selection produces a still GIF.

Good uses for a PDF-to-GIF animation

GIFs autoplay where PDFs can’t: in email newsletters, social posts, chat apps and README files. That makes PDF to GIF a handy way to preview a slide deck, show off a multi-page flyer or menu, or share a short comic strip. Two to four seconds per page works for text-heavy slides; one second suits visual pages.

Text gets small quickly in a GIF, so render at 720–1000 px wide for documents meant to be read. If the result is too large for email, the GIF compressor can reduce colours and size, and GIF to MP4 creates a far smaller video version for social media.

Back to PDF

The reverse is just as easy: GIF to PDF puts every frame of a GIF on its own page or lays them out as a printable contact sheet. For scanned multi-page TIFF documents, use TIFF to GIF.

PDF to GIF FAQ

How do I convert a PDF to a GIF?

Drop the PDF into this tool, choose the page range and time per page, set the width and click Convert to GIF. Each page becomes one frame.

Can I convert a single PDF page to GIF?

Yes. Set the first and last page to the same number to get a still GIF of that page.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

No. Remove the password in your PDF app first, then convert the unlocked copy.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. GifRush processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript, Canvas, Web Workers and WebCodecs. Your files never leave your device, and closing the tab discards them.
