The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) was introduced in 1987 as a way to display images efficiently across different computer systems. It quickly became popular on early websites thanks to its ability to support simple animations.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, animated GIFs were widely used for decorative effects and small looping animations. As internet speeds improved, video formats like Flash and MP4 began to replace GIFs for more complex content.
Today, GIFs are still widely used for short, looping animations, especially on social media and messaging platforms. However, MP4 video has become the preferred format for most platforms due to its smaller file size, better quality, and wider compatibility.
