GIF: Graphics Interchange Format

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. It is a  bitmap image format  that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite on June 15, 1987. It is widely used for still images and animations on the World Wide Web.

GIF is a chain of various bitmap files in order to create one animated picture. It is an 8 bit format which means the maximum number of colours supported by the format is 256.

GIF is a dynamic image which is just like video without any sound.
