Who will need to create a GIF and why?
The Graphics Interchange Format, commonly known as GIF, is one of the most used media formats across different platforms and purposes. Static images and videos have their limitations. While creating presentations, using multiple images at different places is inconvenient. Videos are too bulky to import into a project. On the other hand, a GIF condenses a few frames in one place. Nowadays, GIFs are extensively used on social media to create memes. They don’t utilise much storage and can be easily shared. Thus, if you are a digital creator or a presentation maker, you would need to learn the art of creating GIFs.
