What is GIF?

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) — One of the oldest image formats, famous for animation support. Limited to 256 colors per frame, making it best suited for simple graphics, logos, and short animations.

  • Format type: Lossless (indexed)
  • File extension: .gif

What is WEBP?

WebP Image Format (WEBP) — A modern format developed by Google offering both lossy and lossless compression. Produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, with transparency support.

  • Format type: Lossy / Lossless
  • File extension: .webp
