What is a .GIF file?
GIF files are images saved in the Graphical Interchange Format (GIF), which many image editors and web browsers support. The GIF format is lossless but is limited to 256 colors, which is not ideal for high-quality digital photographs. Therefore, the files are usually limited to simple web graphics with slight color variation, like website banners and buttons.
Also, users often save animations as GIF files. These animations are a series of images that can be "played" to display an animation much like a flipbook.
You may encounter GIF files in various ways, but you will primarily acquire them when downloading web graphics from the Internet or downloading animated GIFs from social sites, such as Twitter and Facebook. You can use File Viewer Plus to open, edit, and save GIF images. You can even play animations saved in GIF files to view them the same way as it appears in a web browser. File Viewer Plus also supports the conversion of GIF files to other image formats, such as PNG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP.
