GIF to BMP converter

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an 8-bit image file format that is widely used to display animation and graphics. It supports up to 256 colors and is often used to display small web graphics for logos or simple animations. It can be used both for static images and for animated images, and generally compresses images better than other image formats.

The GIF format supports data compression, but does not support animation or sound. It is also limited in its ability to provide better image quality than other image formats such as JPEG. However, GIFs are more suitable for use on the web because of their small size and relatively fast loading times.

The BMP (Bitmap) file format is a raster graphics file type commonly used to store digital images. BMP files are typically uncompressed and can range from simple monochrome images to 24-bit color images with full color depth and lossless compression. The BMP format supports multiple color depths, including 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit color. It also supports alpha blending and other features.

BMP files are widely used to create logos, web graphics, icons, screenshots, and loading images in games. They can be opened with any text editor or image editing software. Web browsers can also display BMP files. Microsoft Windows and other operating systems support the BMP file type natively.
