Understand and verify the converter result
Do not treat a completed status as the only quality check. Open or copy image/gif, compare the important information with the source, and test it in the destination that will use it. For images, compare pixel dimensions, transparency, orientation, colour appearance and visible sharpness at the size where the result will actually be used.
