Why convert GIF to PPM?

Use PPM when your next application needs graphics programming and simple RGB raster exchange. GIF uses an indexed palette of up to 256 colors per frame; this still-image conversion reads only the displayed/first frame of animated GIFs.

The converter decodes the GIF image, applies your selected size or appearance adjustments, and writes PPM output. PPM is a simple RGB pixel format for image-processing experiments and certain graphics pipelines; expect a relatively large file.

Before you download

  • If the original image is animated, this still-image converter does not preserve the full animation. Use a frame or animation tool when you need every frame.
  • This output does not preserve the source transparency in this implementation; choose a suitable solid background.
