Convert GIF to SVGZ

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.

SVGZ, or Scalable Vector Graphics Compressed, is a file extension for compressed SVG files, utilizing the GZIP compression method. Introduced to optimize web performance, SVGZ retains the scalability and resolution independence of SVG while reducing file size, leading to faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage. This format is particularly valuable in web development, digital graphics, and applications requiring efficient transmission and rendering of vector graphics. SVGZ emerged as part of efforts to enhance web technologies, catering to the increasing demand for high-quality, scalable visuals in a more efficient manner.
