PCL to GIF Conversion: FAQ
What are PCL files?
PCL (Printer Command Language) is a format associated with Hewlett-Packard printers, containing a standardized protocol that facilitates communication between computers and printers. PCL files contain commands related to features such as: drawing tools, font rendering, macros, Unicode symbols, raster areas etc.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
