GIF to MPG converter

.gif

GIF, Graphics Interchange Format, is one of the most popular bitmap image formats on the World Wide Web, allowing you to share images. It also supports transparent views of various animations. Such files are used to develop web advertising with sequentially changing pictures and the graphics shell of video files. They use scan-line images with the depth parameters up to 256 colors of the RGB palette. The process of compressing files in GIF does not affect the quality in any way, as there is no loss because of the compression technique. Due to this, it is possible to convert to other formats while preserving the original image properties. Many applications open the extension to view and process images and video content installed on PCs and mobile devices regardless of OS.

The format was developed by Compuserve specialists, especially for its use in the web environment, which provided broad public access to data on such files. The extension uses the LZW algorithm to carry out a parallel process with the removal of segments containing insufficient information. This ensures the preservation of high-quality pictures. Thanks to the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm, the format handles graphic files with repeating sections well, particularly images with a large number of single-color pixels horizontally. Interlaced data storage is also possible. Scan-line data is compressed to the smallest size. Reducing the number of colors required to create an image is provided by removing shades unnecessary to perform this process. The range of available GIF colors is from 2 (black and white) to 256 while reducing the number of colors leads to a decrease in the file size.

MPG is a moving picture expert group’s digital video file. Videos in MPG format are compressed using either MPEG-2 or MPEG-1 compression. Both types of MPG files serve as container files for audio and video data to ensure the two portions remain in sync. Movies with MPG extension have smaller sizes and more excellent quality, but quality differs from original VCR videos.

MPG compresses files to 1.5 Mbit/s. Digital video files, audio files are compressible. MPEG-1 is used for broadcasting. MPEG-2 is used for compressing movies. Also, it’s bit- rate limit is 1 Mbit/s. MPG files are often used for TV and DVD stations, cable, satellite.
