A hopelessly outdated image format that is nowadays mostly used for animated pictures. Has ridiculous limitations such as a maximum of 256 colors and inefficient compression but keeps being used because none of the superior alternative formats ever caught on. Also, nobody seems to be able to agree on the pronounciation, for some reason.
Person: Woah, nice GIF you got there. Sucks you can see so much banding from those pesky color limitations.
GIPHY: So, are you gonna use a GIF in your definition or not?
Person: Nah, wouldn't be caught dead using one of those things. It's not like GIPHY even really uses GIFs. They're all just looped MP4s.

Pronounced as “gif” with a hard g (fuck you its pronounced gif not jif even if the creator says so), it is a type of a looped animation thingamajig that counts as a image for some reason, the difference is that gifs are shorter and have no sound, they also tend to have worser quality possibly because in the process of converting the said video to a gif something happened that messed with the quality
Person 1: Dude, it’s pronounced “jif” not “gif”! Even the creator said so!
Person 2: So are you saying that, god is “jod” and get is “jet”?
