Why convert SVG to GIF?
SVG is perfect on the web, but many upload forms, Office apps and social sites won't accept it. GIF works in every chat app and email client, which is still the simplest way to share a small graphic.
SVG vs GIF

| Type | Vector | Raster (pixels) |
| Compression | Lossless | Lossless, 256 colours |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | Yes |
| Opens in | All browsers, design tools | Every device, browser and app |
| File size | Tiny for icons and logos | Small for graphics, large for photos |
| Best for | Logos, icons, illustrations | Short animations, simple graphics |
- SVG is a vector format, so it is drawn as pixels during the conversion. The GIF has a fixed size and won't scale up without blur.
- The SVG is drawn with its longer side at 2048 pixels, or at its own size if that is larger. Fonts and images it links to by URL are not loaded.
- SVG animations are not kept: the result is a still image.
- GIF can show only 256 colours, so photos may look banded or grainy. It suits simple graphics best.
- GIF transparency is on or off for each pixel, so soft, semi-transparent edges become hard.

The SVG is drawn as pixels, so the GIF has a fixed size and won't stay sharp if you enlarge it.
