Frequently Asked Questions
Yes.
Your SVG image keeps its pixel dimensions; only the file format changes to GIF.
Compatibility for simple graphics.
GIF opens everywhere and suits simple graphics, but it is limited to 256 colours, so photos lose quality and are often larger than as JPG or WebP. Transparent areas become white, and the result is a still image.
No.
The conversion is done locally with the Canvas API.
Detailed Explanation
How it works
The image is decoded onto a canvas and re-encoded to GIF with the Canvas toBlob API.
- Canvas re-encoding
Use cases
Use it when a site, app or device needs GIF instead of SVG, or to reduce file size.
- Compatibility and size
Limitations
Converting to a lossy format can reduce quality, and some formats (like HEIC) depend on browser support for decoding.
- Lossy loss; browser support
