About GIF to SVG conversion
GIF is released by CompuServe in 1987 and is the universal support but limited by its age for short animations, simple graphics. SVG was created by W3C in 2001 and is best for vector logos, UI icons. Converting GIF to SVG gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where SVG is required. GIF files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to SVG solves compatibility issues.
