About GIF Files
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) supports up to 256 colors per frame and is best known for animated image sequences. GIF uses LZW lossless compression and supports transparency (binary, not alpha). While limited in color depth, GIF remains popular for short animations, memes, and simple web graphics. For higher quality animations, consider WebP or APNG.
