Free online GIF→PCX converter. Fast, private, no sign-up.
If something is asking you for a PCX file and all you have is a GIF, this page is the fix. Drop in your GIF file (a .gif) and download a ready-to-use PCX file (a .pcx) — no software to install, no account to create, and no watermark on the output.
GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, but it persists for one reason: simple, autoplaying, looping animation that works in any context without a video player.
PCX is an image format. Converting to or from it lets you use the same picture in apps and on platforms that expect a different format.
The usual reason to convert GIF to PCX is file size or quality: PCX fits the job better, whether that means a smaller download, a cleaner edit, or broader support. Under the hood the conversion runs on libvips and ImageMagick — the same libraries that power image pipelines across the web — so colour, transparency and metadata are handled correctly wherever the target format supports them.
PCX has no alpha channel, so any transparent areas in your GIF are flattened onto a solid background during conversion. GIF can animate but PCX can't, so only the first frame is kept — convert to a video format like MP4 instead if you want to preserve the motion.
Typical uses: preparing assets for a website, attaching a file someone else can definitely open, or standardising a folder of mixed files into one format.
Privacy is the default here. Your GIF file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards. We never keep your files, never build a library of your content, and never make you sign up to download the result.
