Frequently asked questions
Is converting XPS to GIF free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my XPS pictures uploaded anywhere?

Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
