FAQ
DRL to GIF Conversion
What are DRL files?
The DRL image format is included in the Gerber group, which consists of over 20 standardized extensions used in the production of printed circuit boards (PCB). Similar formats in the group — such as GTS, GBS or GTO — contain descriptions of solder masks, silkscreens and various other layer data. DRL files cover drilling data and they are vectors used as input files by photoplotters which fabricate PCBs.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
