A GIF is a picture format that can hold multiple frames, thus creating a slideshow or animation. GIF stands for "Graphic Interchange Format". Gifs can hold only 256 colors though, so when saving a single image, use BMP or JPG.

GIF is a compressed format of a graphic. If you export an image to gif format from an image editor, it reduces the size, quality and colors in the image. But it allows transperancy in the image, so that background elements can be seen in the transparent area. It also can contain animation. Photoshop is a great tool for gif animation. JPEG format supports neither transparancy nor animation.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an 8-bit-per-pixel bitmap image format using a palette of up to 256 distinct colors from the 24-bit RGB color space. The format was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. It also supports animations and even allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame.

A picture format, like JPG or BMP
Stands for:
"Graphic Interchange Format. Yet another image format type generated specifically for computer use. Its resolution is usually very low (72 dpi, or that of your computer screen), making it undesirable for printing purposes."
