Why convert SVG to GIF?

SVG is an XML-based vector image format that scales to any size without quality loss. It's the universal standard for icons, logos and illustrations on the modern web — but to use one as a regular bitmap (favicon, social card, app asset) you need to rasterize it first. GIF is the classic web format for short, looping animations. While limited to 256 colors and inefficient for photos, it remains the universal lingua franca of reaction memes and simple animated graphics.
