How do I convert a GIF to KDC?

Upload your GIF file, select KDC as the output format, and click 'Convert'. Our tool processes each frame of the GIF and outputs a single KDC RAW image. If your GIF contains animation, only the first frame is converted, as KDC does not support frame sequences. After conversion, download the KDC file.

Why should I convert GIF to KDC?

GIF is an indexed-color format limited to 256 colors and supports animation, while KDC is Kodak's RAW format for digital cameras, storing up to 12-bit per channel with a wider dynamic range. Converting GIF to KDC is useful when you need to edit the image in photo software that natively supports RAW, like Adobe Lightroom, or when you want to preserve luminance data for archival purposes. However, as GIF has lower color depth, the KDC file will not contain additional color information; it simply repackages the GIF data into a RAW container.

What happens to transparency and animation during GIF to KDC conversion?

The GIF's color palette is expanded to the 12-bit RGB color space of KDC, but no new colors are invented—pixel values are mapped directly. Transparency is flattened to white if the GIF has an alpha channel, as KDC does not support transparency. Resolution and geometry remain unchanged. If the GIF is animated, only the first frame is retained, as KDC is a still-image format. All metadata from the GIF (e.g., comments) is discarded; instead, basic EXIF-like tags are added.
