Convert GIF to PIC

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

What is PIC file?

PIC is the file extension for Generic Picture Files, a type of raster graphics format. PIC file types are used for graphical images such as drawings and photographs, mostly from within older versions of Microsoft Windows and other applications. Generally, PIC files are not typically used in modern computers, given that they are somewhat outdated compared to modern graphics format such as JPG and PNG. [ ⏩ ] PIC file extension

How to convert the file from GIF to PIC?

To successfully convert the GIF file to PIC, 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 PIC (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 PIC).

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 PIC. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting GIF files to PIC 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 PIC, 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 PIC file, or not.
