The extension is actually immaterial. It merely serves to give the operating system a hint as to the file's content, allowing the file to be associated with a particular application, such as a GIF file viewer or an image editor application. In order to save a GIF file, you must first re-encode the image (assuming it is not already in GIF format), and save the output to a file with a GIF extension.

A GIF file (graphics interchange format) is a simple, low quality image file or animation.
