How do I convert a GIF file to MEF using LetsConvert?

Upload your GIF, optionally adjust resolution or bit depth, click Convert, and download the resulting MEF. Our tool preserves animation frames as separate layers in the MEF container, so you can edit them individually.

Why should I convert a GIF to MEF instead of keeping it as GIF?

MEF is a raw image format used by Mamiya cameras, but it's also supported by Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom as an editable raw file. Converting GIF to MEF lets you apply non-destructive adjustments and work with 16-bit depth, avoiding GIF's 256-color limitation.

What happens to GIF transparency and animation frames during conversion to MEF?

Our converter flattens each animation frame into a separate layer in the MEF file. Transparent pixels are preserved as an alpha channel, but note that MEF's raw format stores uncompressed sensor data, so GIF's indexed palette is expanded to the full 16-bit color space.
