Convert NEF to PNG ANIMATED

The NEF file extension stands for Nikon Electronic Format, a proprietary RAW image file format used by Nikon digital cameras. These files capture all image data as seen by the camera sensor, providing greater flexibility for post-processing and higher image quality compared to compressed formats. NEF files are essential for professional photographers and IT specialists in photo editing due to their uncompressed nature, allowing precise adjustments in color, exposure, and detail retention. Nikon introduced this format to enhance image fidelity and editing capabilities, maintaining a pivotal role in digital photography since its inception.

Animated PNG is a file extension for animated raster graphics. Developed as an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, Animated PNG allows for animation while maintaining PNG's lossless compression and transparency features. Introduced by Mozilla in 2004, it initially garnered limited support but gained traction for its compatibility and efficiency. Animated PNG is ideal for web usage, offering animation without the substantial file size of GIFs, making it suitable for high-quality web animations and UI elements.
