Convert PPT to GIF

PPT stands for "PowerPoint Presentation", a legacy file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint, which is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Introduced in 1987, PPT files are primarily utilized for creating slide show presentations that include text, images, multimedia, and custom animations. Historically, the PPT format has been instrumental in business, education, and various professional settings for visually engaging presentations. It has since been succeeded by the PPTX format, which offers enhanced performance and security through XML-based structuring.

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.
