GIF  Gigabyte 

GIF - Graphics Interchange Format

A standard for digitized images compressed with the LZW algorithm, defined in 1987 by CompuServe (CIS).

A common format for image files, especially suitable for images containing large areas of the same color. GIF format files of simple images are often smaller than the same file would be if stored in JPEG format, but GIF format does not store photographic images as well as JPEG.
