Format Details
GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is one of the most recognized image formats on the internet, developed by CompuServe in 1987. It supports up to 256 colors per frame and lossless LZW compression, and is famous for its animation capability, making it ideal for simple looping clips and reaction images. GIF remains enormously popular for sharing short animations and memes across social media and messaging platforms.
SVG
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format maintained by the W3C as an open web standard. Unlike raster formats, SVG images are mathematically defined and scale infinitely without any quality loss, and can be styled and animated with CSS and JavaScript directly in browsers. SVG is the definitive format for logos, icons, illustrations, and data visualizations that must look crisp across every screen size and resolution.
