Frequently Asked Questions
What is GIF?GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, is a widely recognized image format that supports both static and animated images. Introduced by CompuServe in 1987, GIF employs lossless compression using the LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) algorithm, which allows it to reduce file sizes without losing any image data. This makes GIF particularly effective for images with solid colors and simple graphics. One of the most notable features of GIFs is their ability to create animations by combining multiple images into a single file and playing them in sequence.
GIF also supports transparency, which enables certain parts of an image to be transparent, making it useful for web graphics and overlays. However, GIFs are limited to a palette of 256 colors, which restricts their use for images requiring high color fidelity or complex gradients. Despite this limitation, GIF remains a popular format for web graphics, memes, and short animations due to its ease of use and compatibility across different platforms and devices.
