Abstract
The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a digital file format which
compresses data without significantly degrading the quality of the
image, making it useful for producing short animated clips that are
often looped endlessly. These short animated GIFs have had
widespread use within online discussion boards and social media.
Within online communities these short animations or low-resolution
videos in the GIF format are used for various acts of communication
and creative expression.
