Frequently Asked Questions

What is GIF?

GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, is a widely recognized image format that supports both static and animated images. Developed by CompuServe in 1987, GIF employs lossless LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) compression, which reduces file size without losing image quality. This makes it particularly effective for simple graphics and images with solid colors, although it is limited to a 256-color palette.

A notable feature of GIFs is their ability to create animations by combining multiple images into a single file and displaying them in sequence. Additionally, GIFs support transparency, allowing for background transparency which is useful for web graphics and overlays. Despite the limited color range, GIFs remain popular for their simplicity, ease of use, and compatibility across a wide array of platforms and devices, making them a staple for web graphics, memes, and short animations.

What is WEBP?

WEBP is a modern image format developed by Google, designed to offer superior compression and quality for images used on the web. The format supports both lossy and lossless compression, providing flexibility for various use cases. WEBP files are typically much smaller than their JPEG or PNG equivalents, which helps in reducing bandwidth usage and improving webpage loading times.

One of WEBP’s key features is its support for transparency, similar to PNG, but with enhanced compression efficiency. Additionally, WEBP can handle animations, providing better quality and smaller file sizes compared to GIFs. This makes WEBP an attractive option for web developers aiming to optimize images without compromising on quality. Its growing support across modern browsers and image processing tools highlights its increasing adoption and relevance in the digital landscape.
