GIFConverter reads a number of graphic formats most commonly found on Macintosh computers (GIF, JPEG, TIFF, EPSF). While it can write to these formats, it supports only rudimentary editing capabilities like selecting, rotating, and cropping. GIFConverter works, but there are more full-featured applications available at a lower cost.
