GIF to HDR
File Converter

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a widely used image file format that supports both animated and static images. It is particularly noted for its ability to display images with transparent backgrounds and is commonly used for web graphics, memes, and simple animations. However, GIF is limited to a 256-color palette, which makes it less suitable for full-color photographs and detailed artwork.

HDR (Radiance RGBE image format) is an image file format designed to store images with a broad range of luminance levels, from deep shadows to bright highlights, capturing more detail in both areas than standard digital imaging formats. This format is commonly used in photography and computer graphics to achieve more realistic or artistically enhanced representations of light in images. However, HDR files can be larger in size, and they require compatible software and displays to fully appreciate the enhanced dynamic range.
