VICAR to GIF Conversion: FAQ
What are VICAR files?
VICAR and VIC (Video Image Communication Retrieval) are two bitmap formats originally created by NASA for storing images captured during space missions. The two extensions were launched in the 1960s and later on they were also used for various other applications, including biomedical imaging, earth resources and geology. Both formats are considered highly specialized and archaic, so opening them using regular image viewers is probably difficult.
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.
