GIF is old, [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt proprietary] but widely supported format. Today it's mostly surpassed by [[PNG]] - in all regards except one: support for simple animations. If you need animated icon or something like that - use GIF, by all means (all patents related to GIF are expired by now), but for anything else... there are [[PNG]] and [[JPEG]]. |
|||
There is a page on [[choosing image formats]] that will help you to understand the differences and how to know which format will be best for the intended use. |

More info can be found on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF Wikipedia]. |
