GIF87 to RAW
File Converter

GIF87 is an early version of the GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file format, introduced by CompuServe in 1987. It supports static images, is limited to a 256-color palette, and allows for transparent backgrounds, making it popular for simple web graphics. However, unlike its successor, GIF89a, GIF87a does not support animations or advanced features such as interlacing, which allows an image to load progressively.

The RAW image file format is a generic term for a variety of image formats used by different digital camera manufacturers. RAW files store unprocessed data from the camera's sensor, providing photographers with the ability to manipulate settings like exposure, white balance, and sharpness during post-processing, which can result in higher image quality. Unlike JPEG and other compressed formats, RAW files retain a much broader range of color and luminance values, offering more flexibility for editing but also resulting in larger file sizes.
