PC GIF Repair
GIF, or Graphic Interchange Format, is a format for graphic bitmaps that is widely used for Internet-based animation and graphics. At times, the compression coding of a GIF can become unstable, rendering it useless. If a GIF file becomes corrupted and you can't view or open it, don't toss it in the recycle bin. There are many programs that have been designed to fix your GIF files with minimal effort. The right software, and a few minutes of your time, can repair a corrupted GIF file.
