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.
TIFF image
TIFF is a high-fidelity raster format favoured in publishing, photography and scanning. It preserves maximum detail and supports layers, multiple pages and lossless compression.
Strengths
- Lossless, print-grade quality
- Supports layers and multiple pages
- Standard in scanning and prepress
Limitations
- Large files
- Poor browser/web support
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Printing, archiving and professional photo or scan workflows that demand top quality.
