SVG to GIF Conversion

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector image format. Unlike raster formats (like JPG or PNG) that use pixels, SVGs use mathematical equations to define shapes. This means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them perfect for logos and icons.

GIF is a format known for its ability to support animations. However, it is limited to a palette of 256 colors, which can make photographs look grainy. GIFs are best used for simple graphics and small animations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you convert SVG to GIF?

SVG provides infinite scalability and tiny file sizes through vector mathematics, but many platforms don't support it. GIF offers universal compatibility dating back to 1987, though with severe quality compromises - 256-color palette limitation creates terrible quality for anything beyond the simplest flat-color graphics. Converting static SVG to GIF rasterizes your vector art with severe color restrictions - smooth gradients become banded, subtle colors are dithered or posterized, and file sizes often increase rather than decrease. This conversion rarely makes sense for static images - PNG is superior in every way (better quality, transparency, compression). Only convert SVG to GIF if: (1) targeting extremely old systems that predate PNG/SVG support (pre-1998), (2) creating animations by combining multiple SVG states into an animated GIF, or (3) absolute maximum backward compatibility trumps quality. For modern use, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
