Convert EPSF to GIF

An EPSF, or Encapsulated PostScript File, is a graphics file format used primarily in the publishing and printing industries for embedding high-resolution images within other PostScript documents. Introduced by Adobe Systems in the late 1980s, EPSF files enable seamless integration of complex visual elements, maintaining quality and device independence. They encapsulate both vector and raster graphics, allowing detailed illustrations and photographs to be embedded without loss of resolution, facilitating professional-quality output across various platforms and devices.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
