GIF vs PNG

GIF

A GIF file stores simple images or short looping animations using a very limited color palette (256 colors). It's the classic format for memes, reaction animations, and short looped clips.

Used in: Memes & reactions · Simple animations · Messaging apps

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency
