Why convert WK3 to GIF?
A WK3 file is a Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3 worksheet, the version that introduced several sheets stacked in one file. The GIF shows the worksheet's cells as LibreOffice Calc prints them, with calculated values, number formats and text laid out in rows and columns, sheet by sheet.
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 WK3 to GIF?
Drop your WK3 file above and press Convert. Our servers open the Lotus worksheet in LibreOffice Calc, print every sheet to a PDF and render each page as an image. The result is saved as a GIF image, ready to download.
Is every sheet of a multi-sheet WK3 included in the GIF?
Yes. Release 3 files can hold several sheets, and each one is printed in turn, so all of them appear in the GIF pages.
Do Lotus @ functions in a WK3 show their results in the GIF?
Yes. LibreOffice Calc reads Lotus formulas such as @SUM and @AVG, and each cell prints its calculated value.
What happens when a WK3 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 WK3 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 .wk3 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.
