The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability.

The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel, allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame. The color limitation makes the GIF format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.


I tried to make my own GIF's. And this is my own latest GIF. I used to edit my own photo to make my eye blinked. I used three different frames in this GIF. At first I have no idea of how to make GIF but when I observed them, I got some clues.

I'm planning to do more but I'm still studying some techniques to make a better one. I'm not satisfied with my skills. I want to learn more and more.
