How do I convert a GIF file to DRF?

Upload your GIF file to the converter, select DRF as the output format, and click Convert. The file will be processed instantly, and you can download the resulting DRF file. For batch conversion, use the 'Add Multiple Files' option and download the converted files as a ZIP archive.

Why should I convert GIF to DRF?

DRF is the native raster format for Dr. Halo, a legacy graphics editor used in DOS environments. Converting GIF to DRF ensures your images can be opened in these old applications without compatibility issues. It also maintains the original color palette and raster structure, which may be required for archival or specific publishing workflows.

What happens to GIF's transparency and animation when converting to DRF?

GIF supports animation and transparency. DRF is a static format, so animation is lost; only the first frame is preserved. Transparency is flattened and replaced with a solid background color (usually white) because DRF lacks alpha channel support. The color palette is retained, so static image quality remains close to the original.
