NEF is an abbreviation of Nikon Electronic Format and is primarily used for retaining everything captured by a camera before it undergoes any form of processing. The information maintained by the NEF file format also includes metadata such as the camera name, lens type, and lens model. A file with the NEF extension is known as a Nikon RAW Image File, most commonly referred to as camera raw image files and used by Nikon digital SLR cameras, NEF files are digital negatives and contain information captured by the camera's image sensors. NEF files capture video in their original format without any form of in-camera processing of the hue, tone, sharpness and white balance.
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.

Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent GIF audio with dependable progress tracking.
NEF files are used in Nikon digital cameras for capturing video without post-processing them or adding special effects. NEF files are stored as RAW image files and can be transferred to the computer for image editing and post-production purposes. NEF files can be converted to various other file formats such as TIFF, JPEG, PNG and can be used with image editing applications like Photoshop. NEF files are uncompressed, contain meta information of image data and are used for saving images taken with a Nikon digital camera. Any changes in the hue, tone and color made to the NEF files can be reversed, what this means is that users can fall back on any changes to the image they previously made through an image editing software and restore the image to its original quality.
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.
