PLO to GIF Conversion: FAQ
What are PLO files?
The .plo file format is a variant of the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) format, commonly used for plotter files. Like standard .hpgl files, .plo files contain a series of vector instructions—written in ASCII—that control pen movements on plotting devices. These files are typically generated by CAD software and used in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing to produce precise line drawings. The .plo extension is often used to distinguish plot-ready files prepared specifically for output on plotters, while still following the HPGL command structure.
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.
