Why convert Excel to GIF?
Excel workbooks are spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel and compatible programs, saved as XLSX, XLS, XLSM or XLSB, with CSV and TSV used for plain-text tables. The GIF shows each worksheet as LibreOffice Calc prints it, with cell values, fonts, colours, borders and number formats following the workbook's own page setup.
GIF stores the image with an optimised palette of up to 256 colours, which suits text, diagrams and flat colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Excel to GIF?
Drop your Excel file above and press Convert. Our servers open the workbook in LibreOffice Calc, print its worksheets to a PDF and render each page as an image. The result is saved as a GIF image, ready to download.
Is every worksheet in the Excel workbook included in the GIF?
Yes. Each worksheet is printed in turn using its own print area and page setup, so all sheets appear in the GIF pages in workbook order.
Which spreadsheet files does the Excel to GIF converter accept?
XLSX, XLS, XLSM and XLSB workbooks, plus CSV and TSV text tables. A CSV or TSV is laid out as a grid of rows and columns before it is rendered.
What happens when a Excel file fills several GIF pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own GIF image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one GIF file.
How are colours handled in the Excel to GIF image?
GIF uses a palette of up to 256 colours. The converter builds an optimised palette from the rendered image, which keeps text, lines and solid colours clean.
Is my .xlsx file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
