GIFs

GIFs, or Graphics Interchange Format, are a type of digital image file that can display short animations or a series of images in a loop. They are commonly used on social media and messaging platforms to convey emotions, reactions, or humor, enhancing communication in a visual way. Unlike videos, GIFs do not have sound and are typically small in file size, making them easy to share online. The format supports transparency and a limited color palette, which helps keep the file size manageable while still providing a vivid visual experience.
