About SVG to GIF conversion
SVG is standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 2001 and is the the undisputed global standard for scalable web graphics for vector logos, UI icons. GIF was created by CompuServe in 1987 and is best for short animations, simple graphics. Converting SVG to GIF gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where GIF is required. SVG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to GIF solves compatibility issues.
