MOD Video File

MOD is a video format primarily used by digital camcorders that record directly to DVD. This format is often associated with standard definition video recordings. MOD files typically contain MPEG-2 video and AC3 audio streams. Its primary application is recording video content for later archiving or editing. The format offers decent video quality and good compatibility with various devices and video editing software.

GIF Image

GIF is a raster graphics file format widely used for web graphics. It's popular for its ability to support animations and a limited color palette, making it ideal for small, animated graphics and simple images. GIF uses LZW lossless compression to reduce file size while preserving image quality. Suitable for creating animated memes, buttons, and other simple visual elements for online use.
