GIF Format

Graphics Interchange Format was invented by CompuServe and is the standard for images on the World Wide Web. GIF images can be identified by the .gif suffix. JPEG, a compressed image format, is also accepted by all but the most antiquated Web browsers. GIF files can be made transparent, so that the background shows through, or interlaces, and the images first appear fuzzy and then becomes sharper as the site finishes loading. See the graphics page for more information.
