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 TXT file?

The TXT (Plain Text File) file extension is a generic extension commonly used for various types of plain text documents. It can also be referred to as a textfile or simply as a base text file. The TXT file type is relatively simple compared to other popular formats, such as .DOCX, .XLSX, and .PPTX, as it contains only raw, plain-text formatting and no embedded objects. It also follows ASCII coding standards, which makes it easy for users to view and edit the text in most text editing programs. [ ⏩ ] TXT file extension

How to convert the file from GIF to TXT?

To successfully convert the GIF file to TXT, 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).

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

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