Format & Conversion

GIF to PDF

Place GIF images into a PDF, one page each, with page size and orientation under your control. Several GIF files combine into a single document in the order you arrange them. GIF transparency is composited onto the page background, since PDF pages are opaque. Runs on your own Vistalyth Tools instance. Files never reach a third party.

Features

  • Many GIF files into one PDF, ordered how you arrange them
  • Page size, orientation, margin, and fit control
  • Original image resolution preserved, with no silent downsampling
  • Your GIF files are processed on your own server and never uploaded anywhere

What you can do

  • Combine scanned or photographed pages into one document to email or file
  • Produce a printable PDF from GIF artwork at a fixed paper size
  • Bundle a set of GIF images into one attachment instead of a zip

Self-hosted. Your files never leave your network.

Vistalyth Tools runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Files processed with GIF to PDF are never uploaded to third-party servers. Deploy a single Docker container and process files with full privacy, no watermarks, and no usage limits. Open source under AGPL-3.0.

Frequently asked questions

Can I control the page order?
Yes. Arrange the files before converting and each becomes a page in that order.
Will the PDF be much larger than the GIF files?
Roughly the sum of the images plus a little structure. PDF wraps the image data rather than re-compressing it, so a large GIF makes a large page. Compress the images first if size matters.
Anything to know about GIF specifically?
GIF may be animated, and a PDF page cannot be. Animated GIFs contribute their first frame only.
Is the text in my scans searchable?
Not from this tool, which produces image pages. Run OCR PDF afterwards to add a searchable text layer.
