If you’ve been online for more than, say, five minutes, you’ve seen a GIF. Those tiny loops? Under the hood it’s a bitmap format that works with a palette per frame—at most 256 colors. Data is packed with LZW, which is lossless, so saving doesn’t smear the pixels. Back in 1987, CompuServe published the first spec, GIF87a. Then 1989 brought GIF89a with a simple 1-bit transparency trick and basic multi-frame animation. Small files, easy sharing, good-enough color—no wonder GIF became the early web’s workhorse and it’s still hanging around.
JPEG is one of the most widely used formats for digital images, especially for storing photographs. Its compression algorithm can be applied in both lossy and lossless modes, although lossy compression is most common. JPEG is the standard format in digital photography, web sharing, and archiving pictures online. However, because of its compression method, JPEG is not ideal for images that include text, line art, or sharp-edged graphics.
Q: How does the converter work?
