FAQ
JIF to GIF Conversion
What are JIF files?
The JIF (Jeff's Image Format) file format was released at the end of the 1990s as an alternative to GIF. It has similar functions — can contain graphics and animation, but uses a different type of compression. It is currently considered a rare format and can only be opened by a limited number of image viewers.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
