Why convert GIF to SVG?
GIF is limited to 256 colours, so photos come out banded and grainy. Some design tools, site builders and upload forms only take SVG, and an SVG with your image inside gets past them.

GIF to SVG, answered
All FAQsIs my GIF file uploaded to convert it?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. Your GIF file is not uploaded, and no account is needed.
Will converting GIF to SVG reduce quality?
No pixels are lost: your image is embedded in the SVG as it is. It is not turned into vector shapes, so it won't scale up without blur. An animated GIF keeps only its first frame.
What's the difference between GIF and SVG?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a lossless raster format mostly used for short animations and simple graphics. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is lossless, supports transparency, and is mostly used for logos, icons and illustrations.
Can I convert many GIF files at once?
Yes. Add up to 50 GIF files at a time. Each converted file uses one of your 3 free conversions, and they are converted one after another in your browser; Download all saves each SVG as its own file. The Filo app is free for life, with no daily limit.
