Convert your FAX file to GIF

Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a FAX (Group 3 FAX) 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 FAX image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting FAX 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 FAX file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

Description

The FAX file format introduced in the 1990's is a raster image file format intended to store digital versions of documents used by Fax (facsimile) machines that were popular at the time.

Although Fax machines have been slowly replaced since then by internet based communications such as Email and Instant Messaging the FAX file format is still used for certain applications and the files can be edited within some 3rd party applications.

Description

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.
