Do you know the reason behind the good
and clear photos? This is because of the image formatting. One such image
format is GIF Format, which is also called Graphics Interchange Format. GIF was
launched in 1987 is now 26 years old.
The format was created by Steve Vilet. Let’s talk more about it.
40
minute buffering
When animation technique was not much
advanced engineers and web designers had to trust the compressed files because
it was the only format then. It could easily load the image even on 56K modem and
outdated web browser. When youtube was started, it took 40 minutes to buffer a
2 minutes video. With this the company
thought this will be flopped before its launch. Then the company decided to
talk to GIF. After this, during the 40 minute buffering i-ball and dancing
dinosaurs were seen. Due to this the users were not bored and it didn’t affect
the youtube too
