GIF to SVG 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.

SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics files have become very popular nowadays. Formats of vector images have been the primary features for 2d graphics that support animation and interactivity. Text files (XML) correctly define SVG files regarding their behaviors and images. SVG files are editable. So, you can adjust them using any text editing software. Any browser supports SVG graphics, and their markup can be rendered as well.

SVG stands for scalable vector graphics and is applicable for online use in an XML format. It can resize or zoom an image, maintaining the same quality. The animation is available for all segments of SVG files. The W3C standards are present here, along with DOM and XSL, with proper recommendations. SVG vector images have a constant bundle of shapes that allows clearer images upon zooming and scaling. SVG files have high graphics capability. CSS styling of SVG files allows the upper level of presentation editing.
