Convert PAGES to GIF

The PAGES file extension is primarily associated with Apple Pages, a word processing application within the iWork suite. A PAGES file is used for creating and editing documents, including text, images, tables, and charts. It supports advanced formatting and multimedia content. Introduced by Apple Inc., the Pages format has evolved since its release in 2005, enhancing compatibility with other document formats like PDF and Microsoft Word. This file format is particularly valued for its seamless integration within the Apple ecosystem, facilitating document creation on Mac, iPad, and iPhone devices.

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.
