How do I convert a GIF file to ORF format?

Upload your GIF, choose ORF as the target format, then click Convert. For animated GIFs, you can select a specific frame to export—ORF is a still image format. The tool decodes the GIF's LZW compression and writes the pixel data into an Olympus RAW container. Download the .orf file when done.

Why would I need to convert GIF to ORF?

ORF (Olympus Raw Format) preserves 12–14 bits per channel, whereas GIF is limited to 8-bit indexed colors. Converting GIF to ORF gives you professional editing headroom in software like Olympus Workspace or Adobe Lightroom, allowing tonal adjustments without banding. It's also useful for integrating legacy graphics into raw-based workflows.

What happens to animation and transparency when converting GIF to ORF?

Only the first frame of an animated GIF is exported, as ORF does not support multi-frame images. Transparency is removed because raw formats lack alpha channels; transparent areas are filled with white. The sRGB color profile is embedded, and the original resolution is preserved.
