FAQ
ZGL to GIF Conversion
What are ZGL files?
ZGL is the compressed variant of XGL, an archaic vector format storing 3D images and compatible with several types of computer-aided design programs. Both formats were created in the 1990s by developer RealityWave, later on acquired by AVEVA, for use on 3D graphics applications such as Solid Edge and AVEVA PDMS. ZGL files contain compressed 3D data and use the XML OpenGL application programming interface (API) format.
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.
