What is a OGV file?
OGV is a video format that uses the open-source Ogg container, developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It typically stores video encoded with Theora, a free and patent-unencumbered codec.
OGV files are often used on websites and in software that supports open standards. Although not as widely adopted as MP4, they provide a royalty-free alternative for multimedia delivery.
How to open OGV files
OGV files can be played using VLC, MPlayer, and Firefox or Chrome browsers. They support open video codecs like Theora and are commonly used for web videos.
Use AnyConv to convert OGV to MP4 or other mainstream formats if broader compatibility is needed.

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.
