About GI files

Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format that is widely used to display images on the web. It is a lossless format, meaning that the image data is not compressed when stored. GIFs are typically used for simple graphics, logos, or small animations. They are also used to store multiple images in a single file, such as an animated GIF. GIFs are limited to a maximum of 256 colors, which can make them unsuitable for high-resolution images or photographs.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a popular image format that is used to store and display digital images. It is a lossy format, meaning that some of the image data is lost when the file is compressed. JPEGs are typically used for photographs or other high-resolution images. They can support millions of colors, making them well-suited for photographs.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a bitmap image format that is similar to GIF. It is a lossless format, meaning that the image data is not compressed when stored. PNGs are typically used for simple graphics, logos, or small animations. They are also used to store multiple images in a single file, such as an animated PNG. PNGs can support more colors than GIFs, making them more suitable for high-resolution images or photographs.

Converting between these file types can be difficult, as each format has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, converting a JPEG to a GIF will result in a loss of image quality, as the GIF format is limited to 256 colors. Additionally, some image editing software may not support all of these file types, making conversion even more difficult. For these reasons, it is often best to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert GIF, JPEG, and PNG files.


The GI Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best GI converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
