What Does GIF mean?

The abbreviated term ‘gif’ stands for ‘Graphics Interchange Format’. 

The ‘gif‘ is an animated photo. Only animated though, for a short period. Things like your favorite movie actors and/or actresses making silly faces over and over.

A ‘gif‘ resembles the old technique of drawing a bouncing ball on the corner of a notebook for many pages, then when you flip the pages the ball will bounce.
