About PNG to GIF conversion
PNG is introduced in 1996 as an open alternative to GIF and is the universal web and design format for logos, screenshots. GIF was created by CompuServe in 1987 and is best for short animations, simple graphics. Converting PNG to GIF gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where GIF is required. PNG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to GIF solves compatibility issues.
