What is GIF format?

The GIF is Graphics Interchange Format. GIF pictures are generally utilized around the Internet for buttons, headings, and logos. You can effortlessly convert most images to the GIF format in any image editing software. Keep in mind that photographic images are much better suited for the JPEG format.

GIF was invented by Compuserve for their online service, but the specifications were made publicly available. GIFs can hold multiple bitmaps of up to 256 colors each, using LZW compressed raster data to minimize file sizes.

Gif utilizes LZW data compression that is significantly a great deal far more productive compared to run-length encoding. On account of it it's possible to download significant pictures even having a slow modem for a short time. The optional interlacing attribute created it achievable to acknowledge even a partially downloaded picture as a person can abort the download if it actually is not what was required. GIF pictures are limited to 256 colors.
