Graphical Interchange Format File
Image file that may contain up to 256 indexed colors; color palette may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image; lossless format, meaning the clearness of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.

GIFs are common format for Web graphics, especially small images and images that contain text, such as navigation buttons.

GIF images can also be animated and saved as "animated GIFs," which are often used to display basic animations on websites. They may also include transparent pixels, which allow them to blend with different color backgrounds.
