Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a type of bitmap file format that relies on pixels to form simple images using the RGB color model. Unlike the uncompressed BMP file format, GIF uses lossless compression and supports animation without audio. The most common use of GIF is in animated form as advertisements, emotion-based replies on social media, and memes, which often go viral on the Internet.
How to open a GIF file?
Almost all web browsers support GIF, which gives it a distinct advantage over other image formats, such as PNG. Furthermore, GIF opens on Apple’s mobile devices, including iPhone and iPad, which makes it more popular than Adobe Flash.
GIFs open easily on almost all image-viewer applications, web browsers, and operating systems. To open a GIF for the purposes of editing it, use an application such as Adobe Photoshop. On Windows, open GIFs with Microsoft Photos, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Roxio Creator NXT Pro, and others. On macOS, use Adobe image viewers and editors, including Adobe Illustrator.

Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is an extension of the PNG format that supports animation while retaining lossless compression and transparency features. Like PNG, APNG files can have RGB or RGBA colors, and they support full alpha transparency, making them ideal for animated graphics on websites. APNG offers smoother animations and better image quality compared to traditional GIF animations.
How to open an APNG file?
Most modern web browsers and image viewers support APNG files natively. If you're having trouble opening an APNG file, consider using programs like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop, which also support this format. If needed, you can convert APNG files to other formats like GIF, MP4, or WebP using available converters.
APNG files may be larger than other animated formats, so consider file size when using them on websites. One key feature of APNG is its ability to maintain high-quality animations without the artifacts typically seen in GIFs, making it particularly useful for smooth, high-quality animations.
