When not to convert TIFF/TIF to GIF

- No motion to preserve: TIFF/TIF is a still, so pick GIF for size or compatibility rather than animation.
Limits
Starting point: TIFF/TIF - TIFF is a print-industry container holding lossless pages with tags and metadata. Some writers use JPEG-in-TIFF encoding that not every reader opens. Limited to 256 colors per frame, so gradients may band. Export GIF from TIFF/TIF at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
