It stands for Graphics Interchange Format and, unlike jpg it is a simple way of making an animated image. Each GIF contains a number of individual images; photos, drawings, scans, text – and the result can be used as a banner on a website or in a presentation, or simply as an animated character. Easily created by using many types of image on a gif maker such as ‘Picasion’ an animated GIF adds interest to a ‘flat’ web-page. They can be ‘looped’ so that the banner can revolve, disappear and come back – creating an attractive image to catch the eye.
