Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a EMF (Windows Enhanced Metafile) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple EMF image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
Along with converting EMF image files to GIF, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available within the Options tab. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single EMF file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.
This option can be used to rotate the image in 90° increments.
When selected, this option will flip the image vertically.
When selected, this option will mirror the image horizontally.
When checked, this will apply a grayscale filter to the image, turning any color image into a grayscale image.
When checked, this will apply a negative filter to the image, inverting all the colors within the image.

The EMF file format is the successor to the legacy WMF image format, capable of storing both two-dimensional raster and vector graphics. The WMF format was introduced by Microsoft in 1992 as part of the Windows 3 SDK and has evolved over time with new features until being replaced by the EMF format.
EMF files contain 32-bit data and are similar in nature to SVG files in that they can store both raster and vector image data. The format is used within versions of Microsoft Office and can be opened with a limited number of graphics applications.

GIF files have been around since the mid-to-late 1980's and were introduced by CompuServe as a way to compress color images into small file sizes suitable for downloading, at which time most download speeds were limited. The format allows varying-size color palettes of up to 256 colors in total to be defined from a palette of 16 million colors.
Later on, the ability to add animations to the GIF file format was added. GIF files became a popular image file format for the early internet due to their small size, large color palette, and animation capabilities, and they are still popular today.
Yes! Our EMF tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and EMF files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the GIF files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your EMF file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the EMF to GIF conversion has completed, you can download your GIF file straight away.
We aim to process all EMF to GIF conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the EMF file you submit to us. The resulting GIF file, once created is deleted 20 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your EMF file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted GIF file quickly.
Yes! Our EMF to GIF tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our EMF conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your EMF to GIF, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
