Why convert PY to GIF?
A PY file is a plain-text Python source file, holding a script or module written in the Python programming language. The GIF shows the whole script as a code block in a monospaced font, with every line, indent and blank line exactly as written.
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 PY to GIF?
Drop your PY file above and press Convert. Our servers read the script as UTF-8 text, set it as a monospaced code block, export it to a PDF and render each page as an image. The result is saved as a GIF image, ready to download.
Are comments and docstrings in a PY included in the GIF?
Yes. The whole file is placed on the page as written, so comments, docstrings and code all appear in the GIF with their indentation intact.
Do symbols such as < and & in a PY show correctly in the GIF?
Yes. Every character is escaped before layout, so comparison operators, ampersands, quotes and non-English text appear exactly as they are in the source.
What happens when a PY 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 PY 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 .py 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.
