GIF

In computing, popular and economical picture file format developed by CompuServe. GIF (pronounced with a hard ‘g’) was one of the two most commonly used file formats for pictures on the World Wide Web (the other being JPEG) because pictures saved in this format take up a relatively small amount of space. The term is often used simply to mean ‘pictures’. By 2006 GIF had become less popular and other formats such as Portable Network Graphics (PNG) and JPEG were more widely used.
