Question:
What is the difference between GIFs and JPEGs and when would you use either in Web development?
Answer:
GIFs are seen most often on Web sites. They are usually used to display drawings, diagrams, and other less-than photo-quality images. GIFs are also used to show simple animations. GIF files are relatively small as compared to other image file types. JPEG files are often used to display photo-quality pictures.
