What is a GIF File?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image format used for simple animations and low-color graphics. Limited to a maximum of 256 colors, it is not suitable for photographs but ideal for simple icons, logos, and short animated loops. GIF supports basic transparency (binary transparency).
