GIF: Graphics Interchange Format. It is one of the main graphic formats displayed by web browsers. GIFs store bitmaps in patterns of indexed 8-bit color (256 colors or less) using a special algorithm called Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW). Gifs compress the raw bitmaps into smaller file sizes. Because of their limited color depth, GIFs are better suited for images made up from solid colors such as logos, icons, and buttons.
