About GIF files
If you're wondering how to create a GIF file, there are many online and offline tools available for you. Among these tools are After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. These programs allow you to upload images, merge them, and download them in a GIF format. In addition to creating GIF files, these programs also let you import and export image data. Learn more about how to create a GIF file below.
GIF files can have two different types of color tables, one for the global table and one for each sub-image. The global table contains a list of RGB intensities from 0 to 255, ranging from deep black to bright white. In the global table, red, green, and blue values are the most extreme. GIFs may have more than one type of color table, and the global table typically takes up two bytes of the file's stream.
