GIF- What is it?
1. What does GIF stand for?
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, a "bitmap image format widely used on the Internet for its flexible web support and portability." Basically, a GIF is an image file format, like a .jpg, or .png. It was invented by Steve Wilhite in 1987. Not all GIFs are animated, but the popular usage of GIF involves animation, or movement.
2. Is it pronounced 'GIF' like 'gift' or 'GIF' like the peanut butter brand?
The internet is filled with different GIFs for all sorts of things. Probably the most helpful resource in finding these GIs is the website GIPHY. Try to find a couple of GIFs that you like!
