GIF vs SVG: what changes
| GIF | SVG | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Raster (pixels) | Vector |
| Compression | 256-colour palette | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | No |
GIF is an old raster format limited to a 256-colour palette with only on/off (1-bit) transparency. Its one real advantage is short looping animation; for still images it is larger and lower-fidelity than PNG.
SVG is a vector format: instead of pixels it stores shapes as XML maths, so it scales to any size with zero quality loss and stays tiny for flat artwork like logos and icons.
You're going from pixels to vector shapes: the result scales to any size without blurring, but it's traced from the image, so it suits flat graphics far better than photos. Transparency is preserved, since both GIF and SVG support an alpha channel.
When to convert GIF to SVG
Converting GIF to SVG can vectorise a simple, flat GIF graphic — like a basic icon — into clean, infinitely scalable shapes.
Good to know: Only the first frame is traced, and vectorisation suits flat artwork rather than detailed or photographic frames.
