GIF to SVG

GIF uses a palette of at most 256 colors per frame and remains common for simple motion graphics. This page targets static GIF usage: the converter reads the bitmap your browser provides and either embeds it or traces its flat color regions.

GIF quirks worth knowing

Dithering patterns that make GIFs look smooth on screen can confuse tracers into speckled paths. Choose Posterized or Grayscale presets to tame dithered artwork.

Transparency in GIFs is binary; semi-transparent pixels were already flattened by the encoder, so SVG tracing behaves similarly to PNG with hard edges.

If you only need the motion as SVG, extract a representative frame in an editor first—vector timelines are outside the scope of this raster converter.
