What changes when you convert SVG to GIF
- SVG artwork is drawn from shapes, so it is rendered to pixels at high resolution (up to 4096 px on the longest side) before it is saved as GIF. Edges stay crisp.
- Both formats support transparency, so see-through areas stay transparent.
- Your SVG is a still image, so the GIF will also be a still image.
