GIF converters

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and is still everywhere for short animations, stickers and simple web graphics. Every frame is limited to a palette of 256 colours, which suits logos and drawings but makes photos look grainy.

What to know about GIF

• At most 256 colours per frame; photos get visible banding or dithering.
• Transparency is all or nothing: a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque.
• One file can hold many frames with their own delays, which is how GIF animations work.
