GIF is an old, palette-limited raster format. SVG is a vector — infinitely scalable and editable. Converting a GIF to SVG is ideal for simple logos, icons, and flat graphics saved as GIFs.

An SVG is a still vector format, so an animated GIF can't be converted frame-for-frame into a single SVG. The converter traces the first frame; for animation you'd export individual frames and animate the resulting SVGs in CSS.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert an animated GIF to SVG?
An SVG is a single still vector, so the converter traces the first frame of an animated GIF. For animation, vectorize frames individually and animate them with CSS or SMIL.
What GIFs convert well to SVG?
Flat logos, icons, and simple line art. The limited GIF palette actually helps tracing, since there are clear flat colour regions to follow.
