GIF
(Graphics Interchange Format)
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format widely used for animations and simple graphics. GIF supports up to 256 colors and uses lossless compression, making it ideal for small, low-resolution images and short animations.
GIFs are popular on social media and messaging platforms due to their small file size and compatibility with most web browsers. While GIFs are not suitable for high-quality images, they remain a versatile format for creating engaging visual content. Modern alternatives like APNG and WebP offer better compression and quality but lack the universal support of GIFs.
