GIF is short for Graphical Interchange Format, a type of raster image file, which is designed for relatively basic images that appear mainly on the internet. GIF is a bitmap image file format for images that use less than 256 different colors and animations that use less than 256 colors per frame. GIF is a data compression format that is especially useful for transmitting images over small traffic.

JPG (or JPEG) is a popular digital image format which contains compressed image data. JPG/JPEG is one of the effective image compression methods, with a compression ratio of several tens of times. However, the image after decompression will be different from the original image. Image quality is degraded after decompression. This attenuation increases with the compression coefficient.
