TAP to GIF Conversion: FAQ
What are TAP files?
TAP is an image format associated to the Gerber group of extensions, which is recognized as a de facto standard in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber images can function as input files for photoplotters that are used in PCB fabrication, containing detailed 2D descriptions of aspects such as copper layers, solder masks, silkscreens etc. TAP images contain drilling data and are created with Orcad software. The format is also known as THRUHOLE.TAP
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.
