Convert GAF files online for free
The converter easily converts your GAF file to various formats - free and online. No VLC or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Data formats to GAF with high quality output.
The .GAF extension is a frequent source of confusion because it serves two incompatible functions: scientific data storage and video game animation.
Most commonly, it is a Gene Association File (or Gene Ontology Annotation File), a strictly formatted, tab-delimited text file used by the Gene Ontology Consortium. These files map gene products to standardized ontology terms. While technically plain text, they are often massive, difficult to parse visually, and lack the formatting required for presentation. Researchers typically need to convert these .GAF files to XLSX or CSV to filter data in Microsoft Excel or import them into database software.
Alternatively, in game development, .GAF stands for Generic Animation Format. This binary format was designed to play back complex 2D animations (often converted from Adobe Animate SWF files) on mobile devices using frameworks like Cocos2d. Legacy PC games like Total Annihilation also use a proprietary GAF container for sprite graphics. These files are "locked" binaries; you cannot edit them in standard image editors. To use these assets elsewhere, you must convert the internal textures to PNG or the animation data to JSON.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your GAF file.
Users also converted SLC, FINAL and STC files.
If you want to convert GAF file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Gene Ontology Consortium or similar software from the "Bioinformatics Data Annotation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to GAF, try Gene Ontology Consortium or another comparable tool in the "Bioinformatics Data Annotation" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GAF converter.
