SVG

SVG Scalable Vector Graphics

SVG describes shapes, paths and text as XML instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. It is the standard for logos and icons on the web.

GIF

GIF Graphics Interchange Format

GIF is a 1987 format limited to a 256-colour palette per frame. It survives because it animates everywhere: chat apps, email clients and forums all play GIFs without a video player.

Why convert SVG to GIF?

SVG files come from logo packs, icon libraries, Figma and Illustrator exports, and website assets. Many apps, social networks and office tools only accept raster images like PNG or JPG. Choose GIF when the result has to loop in a chat app, forum or email client without a video player.

SVG to GIF settings

GIF output is limited to 256 colours, which is ideal for simple graphics but can show banding in photos. Set the output width to render the vector at any resolution without blurring. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.

Frequently asked questions

Will the GIF lose quality?

No. The SVG is drawn fresh at the width you choose, so the GIF is sharp at that size. It only looks soft if it is later enlarged beyond that width.

Is transparency kept when converting SVG to GIF?

Yes. GIF supports transparency, so transparent areas in your SVG stay transparent.

What resolution will the GIF be?

Whatever width you choose. SVG is a vector format with no fixed pixel size, so the converter draws it fresh at the width you set and keeps the proportions. For a logo on a website, 2× the size it is displayed at keeps it sharp on high-density screens.
