FAQ

PDS to GIF Conversion

What are PDS files?

PDS is an extension shared by two unrelated formats. The first is the pattern file of Optitex PDS (Pattern Design System), a Windows CAD program for fashion and apparel design. It holds the pieces of a sewing pattern as precise outlines in real dimensions, with notches, grainlines, seam allowances, and labels, and it can also keep textures and 3D content for draping the pattern on a virtual garment. The second is the Planetary Data System (PDS) format of NASA, used to archive scientific data from space missions, such as planetary, solar, and lunar images, spectra, and measurement tables. It is rare outside research, and regular image viewers cannot open it. The contents of the file tell the two apart.

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.
