Why convert GIF to ARW?

The main issue with GIF is limited color palette (only 256 colors). Converting to ARW fixes this by providing broad compatibility across devices and software. This conversion processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly – no upload, no server, no privacy concerns. Perfect for sensitive or large batches. For most practical purposes, ARW simply removes a recurring headache.

Transparent areas will be filled with white background

Only the first frame of animated GIF files will be converted
