About GIF format

GIF is a bitmap image format that supports animation and transparency. While limited to 256 colors, GIF remains popular for short animations, memes, and simple graphics. Its universal support and small file size for simple animations make it a staple of internet culture and quick visual communication.

Pros

  • +Universal animation support
  • +Simple transparency (no alpha)
  • +Widely compatible across all platforms

Cons

  • -Limited to 256 colors
  • -Large file sizes for complex animations
  • -No audio support for animations

About PNG format

PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, logos, and images requiring crisp edges. Developed as a patent-free alternative to GIF, PNG uses efficient compression while preserving every pixel of the original image. It's the go-to format for screenshots, graphics with text, and images where quality cannot be compromised.

Pros

  • +Lossless compression preserves image quality
  • +Full transparency support with alpha channel
  • +Excellent for graphics with sharp edges and text

Cons

  • -Larger file sizes than lossy formats like JPEG
  • -Not ideal for photographs
  • -No animation support (use APNG or GIF instead)
