Frequently Asked Questions
Will my TIFF photo look good as GIF?
Photographs will lose significant color detail due to GIF's 256-color limit. Only simple graphics convert well to GIF.
Why convert TIFF to GIF instead of PNG or WebP?
GIF is mainly useful for its animation support and universal compatibility in email clients. For static images, PNG or WebP is usually better.
Is transparency preserved?
GIF supports binary transparency (fully transparent or opaque) but not alpha transparency. Partially transparent pixels will be either fully transparent or opaque.
