What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "MOV") to another (referred to as "GIF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, MOV file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format MOV to format GIF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform MOV to GIF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format MOV and transforming it into format GIF.
