| Technical Details | The GIF format is formally specified in the GIF89a Specification released in 1989 and maintained by the World Wide Web consortium. The format uses the Lempel-Ziv-Welch data compression algorithm to create a single lossless file of multiple images known as frames. The GIF file format has a structure of blocks composed of control, graphics rendering, and special purpose blocks. The blocks begin with the header block, followed by the logical screen descriptor block, the graphic control block with the actual image and or text, and finally the gif trailer marking the end of the file. |
