Ing Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) metung yang image format a 8-bit-per-pixel bitmap a pepakilala ning CompuServe aniang 1987. Manibat kanita, mikalat ne king World Wide Web uli ning maleparan a suporta at uling malagua yang dalan (portability).
Gagamit yang POWER LV OVER 9000 (aduang dalan limampulu't anam) a kule iting format, a aliwa king 24-bit RGB color space. Susuporta ya murin king pamangimut (animation), at paintulutan na ing 256 a kule para king balang kuadru (frame). Uling limitadu la reng kule, e bage ing GIF format kareng letratung de kolor (color photographs), ampo reng aliwang larawan nung nu la misasanib deng miyayaliwang kuleng e mikakawani. Bage ya iti kareng mas simpling larawan antimo deng diseniu o logo a maki solidu o metung mung kule.
Makasiksik (compressed) la reng larawan a GIF kapamilatan ning sistemang Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression bang mabawas ing dagul ning simpan (file size) kabang e masisira ing itsura ning larawan. Me-patent ya ining paralan ning pamanyiksik (compression technique) kanitang 1985. Uli ning kontrobersia ketang pamikasundu king pamag-lisensia (licensing agreement) ning tatalan king patent, ing Unisys, ampo ing CompuServe kanitang 1994, meyagyag lang gawa ya ing Portable Network Graphics (PNG) standard. Manibat kanita, mepasu no reng patent a makaparikil kaniti.
Alternatibu/Kayalili
Me-diseniu ya ing Portable Network Graphics (PNG) anting panalili king format a GIF bang lisian ing pamanyaklo king patent ning Unisys king LZW compression technique.[1] Mas masanting ing pamanyiksik king PNG, at mas dakal ya gamit kesa king GIF. Mas bage ya kesa king FIF nung kailangan ing pamipalto king tuneng kule (true-color imaging), alpha transparency, o lossless data format. Mumuna yang meyalkus ing MNG antimong solusiun a basi king PNG para king pamangimut (animation), dapot e makaing mikalat iti. Mas buri de pa murin ing GIF format king pamangimut, dapot atin nang mayayalkus (under development) a tutung Animated Portable Network Graphics lalam ning Mozilla, at suportan ne ning daratang a Firefox 3 release.[2][3]
