Convert K25 to GIF

The K25 file extension stands for Kodak DC25 Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by the Kodak DC25 digital camera, introduced in the mid-1990s. K25 files store unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, preserving high image quality and allowing extensive post-processing. This format was pivotal in early digital photography, enabling users to manipulate images without significant quality loss.

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.
