ORF
ORF is the camera RAW format of Olympus and OM System digital cameras. It stores unprocessed sensor data for later adjustment of exposure and color. ORF files need RAW-capable software, so they are often converted to JPG, PNG, or TIFF.

GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image format that supports simple animation. Each frame can use at most 256 colors, which suits graphics, icons, and short loops but not photos. GIF supports basic transparency and plays almost everywhere, which keeps it popular for memes and reactions.
What happens when ORF becomes GIF
Source format
ORF is the image source or target format for this conversion path.
Target format
GIF uses a palette of at most 256 colors per frame and can contain animation.
What changes
The ORF pixels are decoded and written using GIF compression and color capabilities.
- What is preserved
- Pixel dimensions and visible composition are preserved unless resize or crop settings are selected.
- What may be lost
- Layers, editable vectors, camera-raw controls, animation, high bit depth, and metadata are preserved only when GIF supports them.
- Codec and quality implications
- Color profile handling, bit depth, chroma sampling, and compression settings can change appearance or file size.
- Realistic limitations
- Multi-page, layered, animated, camera-raw, or very large images may be flattened, reduced to one frame, or rejected if the decoder cannot safely read them.
Conversion steps
- Upload a ORF file no larger than 1 GB.
- Confirm that GIF is selected as the target.
- Download the GIF file and check the result before deleting your source.
Troubleshooting
- The ORF file is rejected or will not open.
- Confirm that the file is not empty, password-protected, or corrupt and that its real format matches the extension.
- The GIF file is larger than expected.
- Choose a more efficient codec or lower quality setting when available. Lossless and uncompressed targets are often larger by design.
- Transparency, color, or animation changed.
- Choose a target that supports the needed feature and keep the original file; JPG cannot store transparency or animation.
Privacy and file retention
Uploads and converted files are processed automatically and irreversibly deleted within 24 hours. You can delete them sooner with the delete control. Convertr does not read, mine, sell, or manually review file contents.
