// ABOUT GIF
GIF is a legacy format dating to 1987 that supports animation and simple binary transparency. It is limited to a palette of 256 colours per frame, which means photographic content will undergo colour quantisation. Despite its age, GIF remains ubiquitous for short animations and reaction images across messaging platforms and social media.
// ABOUT TIFF
TIFF is a flexible, high-quality image format widely used in professional photography, print production, and scientific imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple layers, and high bit depths (16-bit per channel and beyond). TIFF files are typically large but preserve maximum image quality for archival and editing workflows.
// WHY CONVERT
