How do I convert an ART file to GIF?

Upload your ART file to the converter. The tool parses the proprietary ART bitmap, remaps its 8-bit color table to a GIF palette, and outputs a .gif file. If your ART uses transparency, the transparency index is preserved. After conversion, download the GIF and use it in any web-ready workflow.

Why should I convert ART to GIF instead of leaving it as ART?

ART is a legacy format from AOL that is not supported by modern browsers, image editors, or content management systems. GIF is an open, universally supported indexed-color format that works on every platform, and it also supports animation. Converting ART to GIF future-proofs your images and makes them shareable online.

What happens to transparency and color depth when converting ART to GIF?

Both ART and GIF support indexed color with a maximum of 256 colors. The converter preserves the exact pixel dimensions and any alpha channel/transparency index from the ART file. If the ART file has fewer than 256 colors, the conversion is lossless. If it has more, a palette quantization step maps colors to the nearest GIF color, which can cause slight banding in gradients.
