FAQ
RAW to GIF Conversion
What are RAW files?
Also known as "digital negatives", RAW photos are uncompressed images that include all the details captured by the camera's sensor. They need to be post-processed using an advanced image editing software. Shooting in RAW mode allows the photographer to have more control over how the image will eventually look, compared to the case of other compressed formats, such as JPG or PNG. The downside of using RAWs, however, is their enormous size, which makes them difficult to store and transfer.
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.
