Why convert NEF to GIF?

Introduced in 2003 by Nikon, NEF was great for its time. But GIF (created in 1987 by CompuServe) offers lossless compression and 8-bit – a massive leap forward. Professional photographers often need to convert RAW files (like NEF) to web-friendly formats like GIF. This reduces file size from 30 MB+ to under 500 KB while maintaining excellent quality – perfect for online portfolios and client galleries.
