Business Definition for: GIF
- Graphics Interchange Format: a type of file used to compress and store images for transfer via the Internet. The major advantage of GIF files is that you do not need a plug-in to view them, so almost any browser can display them. GIF is ideal for small, simple icons and basic images. More complex images, including photographs, can be compressed using JPEG files.
