Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn several PDF pages into one animated GIF?
Yes. Animated GIF is selected by default. Every chosen PDF page becomes a frame, played in document order in one GIF file.
Can I choose which PDF pages appear in the GIF?
Yes. Choose Select pages and enter individual pages, ranges, or both, such as 1-3, 5, 8. The pages become frames in their original document order.
Can I change the speed of the animated GIF?
Yes. Set the time each page stays visible from 0.1 to 5 seconds. The same timing is applied to every frame for smooth, predictable playback.
Can I stop the GIF from looping?
Yes. Turn off Loop continuously when you want the animation to play once. Leave it on for a repeating GIF.
What happens when PDF pages have different sizes?
The GIF uses a frame large enough for the biggest selected page. Smaller pages are centred on a white background, so their proportions are preserved without cropping.
Can I save each PDF page as a separate GIF?
Yes. Choose Separate GIFs to create one static GIF per selected page. Multiple results are named by page number and downloaded together as a ZIP.
Can I resize the GIF output?
Yes. Keep the original rendered dimensions, choose 75%, 50%, or 25%, or enter a custom percentage from 10% to 100%. Every page keeps its proportions.
When is GIF a good format for PDF pages?
GIF works well for slides, diagrams, simple graphics, and short page previews. Its focused colour palette keeps this type of animation widely compatible. For detailed photographs, PDF to PNG or JPG may suit the content better.
Can I convert scanned or password-protected PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages can be rendered directly. If the PDF requires a password, Crest Convert asks for it and retries locally in your browser without storing the password.
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. PDF to GIF conversion runs locally in your browser. Your document is not uploaded to Crest Convert or stored on our servers.
How can I turn a GIF back into a PDF?
