Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) is an extension used in raster graphics. File contains a lossless bitmap image . GIF gain high popularity in Internet – only JPEG is more popular. It was developed by the CompuServe company and deployed on the market in 1987.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the GIF file after converting to ASCII may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from GIF to ASCII to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting GIF to ASCII does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in GIF format, properly converted to a ASCII file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file GIF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of GIF file to other than ASCII. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your GIF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to ASCII on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the GIF file in its original format (without conversion to ASCII file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
