About the formats
GIF image
GIF is a classic format limited to 256 colours but able to hold short looping animations. It remains the lingua franca of reaction clips and simple web animations.
Strengths
- Universally supported animation
- Tiny files for simple graphics
- Supports basic transparency
Limitations
- Only 256 colours — poor for photos
- Large files for longer animations
- No partial transparency or sound
Best for: Short looping animations, memes and simple flat graphics shared across the web.
FLAC audio
FLAC is a lossless format that compresses audio with no quality loss — typically to about half the size of WAV. It is the audiophile choice for archiving music.
Strengths
- Lossless, full quality
- Smaller than WAV
- Rich metadata and tagging
Limitations
- Larger than lossy formats
- Not supported by every player
- Overkill for casual listening
Best for: Archiving and high-fidelity music libraries where quality must be preserved.
