The Graphics Interchange Format, commonly known as GIF, is a bitmap image format introduced by CompuServe in 1987. It supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space.
JPEG is a file format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group for storing bitmap images, known for its lossy compression capabilities and high-quality photographic image storage.
