IPL to GIF conversion is the process of transforming image data stored in an IPL file (a less-common image/bitmap or software-specific palette format) into an animated or single-frame GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image. This conversion extracts the IPL raster data, maps colors and palettes to GIF's indexed-color model, and packages the result into a .gif that can be viewed in web browsers and many image viewers.
