How to Convert GIF Files to Excel

Animated GIFs are a sensation (if you don't believe me, visit NeoTeo's Animated Dump) and they are used for more and more things. In this occasion, we are going to present you a platform to convert an animated GIF into an XLSX format file. The output file of the conversion will have all the frames of the GIF in a single XLSX file, but each frame will be saved in a separate sheet of the Excel.

The platform we will use to perform the conversion is: “gif2xlsx”. A free command-line environment that does the conversion directly in the Excel document. And if the idea seems crazy to you, the author himself explains why he created this program: "I worked in financial services for a long time and I can tell you one thing: I got sick of hearing 'how do I convert an animated GIF into an Excel file'. If you wonder why no one has exploited this niche in such a lucrative market, there is your answer. Let this be of help."

How to Convert GIF to Excel Using gif2xlsx?

Step 1: You will need to download the gif2xlsx executable file.

Step 2: Save an animated GIF in the same location or folder where the ".exe" file of the program was downloaded.

Step 3: At this point, you will need to open the CMD window (Type CMD in the Windows search or press the "Windows + R" keys).

Step 4: Next, you will need to drag and drop the ".exe" file of the environment into the command prompt window. Then, generate a space and drag and drop the animated GIF you want to convert to Excel. The full command will be: gif2xlsx.exe gifanimado.gif

All you have to do is press "Enter" so that the tool processes the animated GIF and extracts all the "frames" of the GIF and inserts them into an Excel document. Each image will be placed in a different sheet of the Excel. The file will open automatically when the conversion is finished.

gif2xlsx works perfectly, and although it has only one purpose, it does it wonderfully. gif2xlsx is a free program available for Windows operating systems.
