About the GIF Format
Originally introduced by CompuServe in 1987, GIF uses LZW lossless data compression and an indexed palette of up to 256 colors. It remains universally supported across every message board, email application, and operating system.
Frequently Asked Questions:
GIF is constrained to an indexed palette of 256 colors. For rich color photographs, JPG or WebP is recommended; for crisp logos or illustrations, GIF works great.
