    About the formats

    .bmp

    BMP is Windows' uncompressed bitmap format. Files are very large for their size, so it's rarely used outside older software that requires it.

    .gif

    GIF is an old image format limited to 256 colours per frame. It survives because it plays short animations everywhere, from chat apps to email, without needing a video player.
