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.
WebP
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. It typically produces files 25-34% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, and up to 26% smaller than PNG for lossless images. WebP also supports animation and alpha transparency, making it a versatile single replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF in modern web applications.
