Information about GIF and BMP file formats
| Name | GIF | BMP |
| Full name | GIF - CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format | BMP - Microsoft Windows bitmap |
| File extension | .gif | .bmp, .dib |
| MIME type | image/gif | image/bmp, image/x-bmp |
| Developed by | CompuServe | Microsoft |
| Type of format | lossless bitmap image format | Raster graphics |
| Description | The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. | The BMP file format, also known as bitmap image file or device independent bitmap (DIB) file format or simply a bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. |
| Technical details | GIF supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. GIF images are compressed using the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression technique to reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. | The bitmap image file consists of fixed-size structures as well as variable-size structures appearing in a predetermined sequence. Many different versions of some of these structures can appear in the file, due to the long evolution of this file format. |
