What is a GIF file?

GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was introduced back in 1987 by CompuServe. Even though GIF supports only 256 colors, it has significant usability on the web because it is portable and compatible with different platforms. GIFs are mostly used on websites for banners, header images, buttons, etc. Because GIF is a lossless format with LZW compression method, the image quality doesn’t deteriorate with reduced image size. Since most web browsers can open GIF files, it is easy enough to view them. However, to edit the GIF file, you’ll need apps such as Corel Draw, Photoshop Illustrator, OmniPage Ultimate, GIMP, etc.

What is a PNG file?

PNG or Portable Network Graphics is an open format developed back in 1996 by the PNG Development Group. PNG is a raster image format with lossless bitmap compression. Even though PNG should replace GIF, it has one shortcoming as it doesn’t have support for animations. PNG files can be used for storing graphics on the web, and on Ubuntu and Mac OS, PNG is the default format to save screenshots. It is easy enough to open PNG files with standard photo viewer program on Windows OS, but there are many more apps that can handle PNG files. For example, to manipulate PNG files, you can use most web browsers, GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, XnView, IrfanView, FastStone Image Viewer, Google Drive, etc.
