Template:BadGIF

The images in this gallery were uploaded as GIF, while a different format would have been more suitable. Commons discourages the use of GIF files, except for animations. See Commons:File types for more information. If possible, please upload a PNG version (or JPEG for some photos) of this image, and mark the GIF image as {{superseded|Image:new image name}}. If you like, encourage other Wikimedia projects using the GIF to use the new version instead. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{convert to SVG}} instead of {{badGIF}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{convert to PNG}}.

Images bearing this template are added to Category:Images with inappropriate GIF format, a subcategory of Category:Images for cleanup.
