The .gif filename extension refers to the GIF graphical file format created by CompuServe in 1987. The format is from the class of raster graphics which uses a dot matrix type data structure of orthogonally placed pixels, each with their own color information. The file format has a rich history of usage in storing sprite data for video games especially those released in the early 90's. The GIF format has also been used in low-resolution animation clips distributed over the internet, and in design of sharp-edged art that utilize a palette of a few colors up to a max of 256 colors. The GIF file format has its advantage in its compression technique, which limits file size but does not compromise image quality. The file format natively opens on many of the popular web browsers.
The legacy EPS format or encapsulated postscript file format was developed as a document interchange format by Adobe systems in 1992 to facilitate cross platform importing and exporting of vector graphical documents between supporting applications and documents. The EPS file is commonly associated with Adobe illustrator and other applications that support the postscript language. The EPS format supports vector graphics, bitmap images, as well as text but is more commonly used for graphic representation. It is worth noting that EPS files exist as final-form representations allowing minimal editing once created. The exception to this is the support of a few transformation operation such as rotation, scaling, and clipping. An EPS file is usually produced to be included in other documents such as text documents.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for GIF to EPS conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload GIF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized EPS results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent EPS audio with dependable progress tracking.
The GIF format is formally specified in the GIF89a Specification released in 1989 and maintained by the World Wide Web consortium. The format uses the Lempel-Ziv-Welch data compression algorithm to create a single lossless file of multiple images known as frames. The GIF file format has a structure of blocks composed of control, graphics rendering, and special purpose blocks. The blocks begin with the header block, followed by the logical screen descriptor block, the graphic control block with the actual image and or text, and finally the gif trailer marking the end of the file.
Postscript language files are typically device independent, however, a postscript language interpreter is still required to preview the contents of any postscript file including EPS files. The EPS format supports 7-bit ASCII for data encoding to ensure maximum portability between systems. The EPS format has however been more formerly superseded by the pdf format, also developed by Adobe Systems.
