GIF files have been around since the dawn of the internet and are a popular choice of format for storing images and animations. Images stored within a GIF file can be stored at low bits per pixel to reduce the size of the GIF file, leading to improved download speeds. Reducing the number of bits per pixel, if done correctly, can lead to no noticeable difference in image quality.

Along with static images, GIF files are also capable of storing short video or animation sequences. This capability has proved very popular, with animated GIFs being created and used on websites and social media. GIF files are also a popular format for storing and transmitting internet memes.

With newer and more capable formats such as PNG and WEBP taking over as the default standard for images and animations on the web, the GIF format is slowly declining in popularity. Support for GIF files within image editing software is still strong and will likely continue.

Extension	WEBP
Full Name	WebP
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/webp
Format	Binary
Opens With	Paint.Net, Photoshop

A WebP file is a next-generation image file format designed for the web. It allows large and highly detailed photographic-quality images to be stored using a very small file size, making it an ideal format for use by websites where bandwidth comes at a premium.

It's aim is to replace other photographic formats, such as JPEG, by offering similar levels of compression and quality while offering a superior reduction in file size. As well as storing static images, the WEBP format can also store animations, making it a great alternative to the traditional animated GIF format.

As the WEBP format is still relatively new, support for it is best found in modern image editing applications or those that benefit from regular updates.
