What is a MPEG file?
MPEG is a family of video and audio compression standards developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. When people refer to MPEG files, they typically mean video compressed using MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 standards, often with the .mpg or .mpeg file extension.
These files were widely used for video CDs, early internet video, and digital cable broadcasting. MPEG provided a balance between video quality and file size, making it a foundational format for digital video.
How to open MPEG files
MPEG files can be opened with VLC, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, and almost all media players. They are also supported by web browsers and editing software.
Use AnyConv to convert MPEG to MP4 or AVI for modern workflows or device compatibility.

What is a GIF file?
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. It’s a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It became popular on the web due to its ability to support short animations and transparent backgrounds.
GIF uses lossless compression but is limited to 256 colors, making it less suitable for complex images or photographs. Still, it's widely used for memes, simple graphics, and looping animations.
How to open GIF files
GIF files can be opened by almost any device or web browser. They automatically play animations in apps and browsers without extra software.
You can also edit GIFs in specialized tools like GIMP or convert them using online services such as AnyConv.
