Why convert HEIF to GIF?
- GIF is supported far more widely than HEIF, so the file is easier to open, share and upload.
- GIF is made for short animations, stickers and flat-colour graphics.
What to expect when converting HEIF to GIF
- GIF shows at most 256 colours per frame, so photos and gradients are dithered and may show banding.
- High-dynamic-range and wide-colour detail is converted to standard 8-bit colour.
