Why convert GIF to SVG?

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) — Historic format limited to 256 colors, famous for its animations. Largely superseded by WebP and MP4 for animation, and PNG for static images.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) — XML-based vector format. Scales losslessly at any size, ideal for logos and icons. PixelCrush rasterizes source SVGs and vectorizes raster targets via automatic tracing.

Converting GIF to SVG typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original.
