What is GIF file?

The Graphics Interchange Format File (.GIF) is a raster image type used for storing bitmap images. It was first developed by CompuServe in 1987 and has been widely adopted since then, being particularly popular on the World Wide Web. A .GIF file contains up to 256 distinct colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It is limited to a maximum dimension of W pixels by H pixels and a maximum file size of 250 kB, making it well-suited for small graphics like icons and website images. The . [ ⏩ ] GIF file extension

How to convert the file from GIF to DRAW?

To successfully convert the GIF file to DRAW, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.GIF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DRAW (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DRAW).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. GIF to DRAW. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting GIF files to DRAW files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DRAW, while before this step we had the GIF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DRAW file, or not.
