Description
GIF is one of the most common types of graphics, storing data in a format of no more than 256 colors. Compression occurs without loss of quality.
File extension
.gif
Technical details
GIF animation works on the same principle as standard animation. The image file contains all the pictures involved in the animation. Each such picture is shown as a separate frame, for which such a characteristic is set as the display time until it changes to the next picture. In GIF animation, you can set the looping of the display of images. This image standard only supports an 8-bit palette, so only 256 colors can be used to display the image.
