Convert KDC to GIF

The KDC file extension stands for Kodak Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by Kodak digital cameras, such as the DC40, DC50, and DC120, to store uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the camera's CCD sensor. Introduced in the mid-1990s, KDC files retain all the original data, allowing for precise post-processing adjustments like color correction and exposure. Despite its large file size, the KDC format is valued for its flexibility in professional photo editing.

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.
