About GIF Format

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a bitmap image format that was introduced in 1987. Despite its age, it remains widely used, especially for simple animations and images with limited colors.

Key features of GIF include:

• Support for up to 256 colors per image
• Lossless compression
• Support for transparency
• Animation capabilities
• Universal support across all platforms and browsers

GIF is ideal for simple graphics, logos, or small animations. However, for photographs or images with many colors, formats like JPEG, PNG, or WebP typically provide better quality and compression.

Note: This converter creates static GIF images. For animated GIFs, you would need specialized animation software.

The conversion happens entirely in your browser - we never upload your images to any server, ensuring your privacy is protected.
