GIF are images that are moving, aminated. While JPEG images are still.
There are multiple differences between GIF images and JPEG images. One main difference is that a GIF may show an animation, while a JPEG is simply one still picture.
Animated JPEG are multiple single jpeg images that is runned under a javascript which runs the jpeg like a animated GIF, by frames of each images.
GIF is an indexed image. Meaning it can only have 256 colors. However .GIF can be animated and they can have a transparent background. .JPEG can not be animated and can not have transparent backgrounds. While .JPEG are full color, not limited to 256 colors (8-bit). So .GIF are used for animated images, and images with only a few colors. .GIF makes sharp, crisp images. .GIF images are used in web design. On the other hand .JPEG seem to blur the pixels together. But that is fine for photographs. So use .JPEG for photographs or artwork. Use .GIF for animations, transparent backgrounded images, and things that need crisp edges, like web design. somboy
Images maily come in: jpg/jpeg, gif, and png
Just open the jpeg image in photo shop and go to menus : file --> save for web and devices. A save for web and devices window will open, set its extension to gif then click on save button. It will save your jpeg image to gif image. Cheers
There are many formats such as jpeg,gif,png and (for favicons) ico. Jpeg format is the best
A GIF animation is essentially a flipbook, it is several frames put together in order to "simulate" animation. Gif animations are often crude and low resolution. Flash anim. on the other hand is made with Dreamweaver (or some other program), where the possibilities of creation(animation) are endless :)
There are 3 formats that are most used. There are more but the most common are: .png .jpg (same as .jpeg) .gif (for animated images)
Almost any format of bitmap or pixel based images: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, GIF and so on.
jpeg is smaller (followed by png, gif and a bmp-which is largest).
.gif is a file format. Most commonly .gif files are animations or images with a short 5-10 second effect. Non-animation image file formats are: .Jpeg and .PNG.
Most common graphic file extensions are: .jpg .jpeg .png .gif (for animated images)
