What is BMP and What is GIF?
BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed image format native to Windows. BMP files are lossless and store every pixel without compression, resulting in very large file sizes. It is required by some legacy Windows applications and hardware devices that do not support modern formats.
GIF is one of the oldest web image formats, supporting up to 256 colors and basic transparency. While limited in color depth, GIF remains universally supported across all platforms, social media, and messaging apps. It is commonly used for simple animations and graphics.
