About PowerPoint to GIF
Turns a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) into an animated GIF: each slide shows for the time you choose, then the next one, looping forever or playing once. GIFs play in chats, emails and web pages where a video will not. Best for short decks of a few slides.
A GIF has only 256 colours and grows with every second, so this tool stops at 90 seconds; use PowerPoint to Video for a longer show. Photos look better as a video; text and flat diagrams look fine as a GIF. The Small width keeps the file under a couple of megabytes for a few slides. Animations, transitions, SmartArt and embedded video are not in the result.
- How long can a GIF be?
- Up to 90 seconds. A GIF has 256 colours and grows with every second; for a longer show use PowerPoint to Video.
- Can I make it play once?
- Yes. Untick Loop forever and the GIF plays once and stops on the last slide.
- Why does it look grainy on photos?
- GIF can show only 256 colours at a time. Text and flat diagrams look fine; photos look better in a video.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The slides are drawn and joined in your browser. The first run downloads the open-source video engine (about 25 MB).
How to use PowerPoint to GIF
Drop your .pptx, choose the width and the seconds per slide, and whether it loops. Press Make the GIF, watch it, and download it.
When to use it
Useful for a short animated summary in an email, a chat or a web page where a video will not play.
When not to use it
For more than 90 seconds, photos or sound, make an MP4 with PowerPoint to Video.
Tips for best results
Use the Small width for chat apps. Keep the slides few and the text large.
Limitations
A GIF has 256 colours, so photos look grainy; the limit is 90 seconds. Animations, transitions and embedded video are not in the result. The engine downloads about 25 MB the first time.
Privacy
The deck is processed inside your browser tab and is not uploaded. A request that counts the use goes to this site when you download and carries no part of your file.
