GIF is one of the most widespread and popular image formats on the Internet. GIF files or gifs can be compressed well without losing the clarity and quality of the image. In 1989, the format was modified - support for transparency and the ability to animate were added. Although it is possible to save a static image in this format, most often this format is used to display animated pictures. An animated GIF is a series of sequential frames played in slow motion to create the illusion of movement. As a rule, such an animation loops, and after the end of the showing, the gif is restarted.
