Convert MNG to GIF

The MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) file extension is a specialized format for animated images, originating from the creators of the PNG format. Developed in 1999, MNG supports features like image sequences, transparency, and JPEG data embedding, making it useful for complex animations and graphics interchange. Primarily utilized in web applications and multimedia presentations, it offers efficient compression and high-quality visual representation, catering to the needs of graphics-intensive environments.

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.
