GIF
GIF(Graphics Interchange Format) is an image format that supports animated images or text. It's a popular format for images that uses the lossless compression algorithm to contain images that don't have more than 256 colors. It was developed by CompuServe in 1987 to help transfer images over networks effectively.
PNG
PNG or Portable Network Graphic format is a file format that stores images using the lossless compression algorithm. It employs a two-stage compression method to encode the image data. Images in PNG format are used on websites across the internet.
