Term Details
Term: GIF
Subcategory: General
Definition: GIF stands for graphic interchange format.  A GIF image can be shown with up to 256 colors.  Usually this type of image contains small file sizes; as such, they are a frequently used graphic format on the Internet.  They cannot be used successfully in printing because their compression creates a low quality image.
