Why do gifs take up so much storage space?
In: 20
GIF is an old format meant for the early days of the web, and so it’s not that great at compressing images to a smaller size while keeping the quality. It can either compress them small at a very poor quality, or it can keep a decent quality but have a large size. Modern compression algorithms are much better and can produce smaller sizes at higher quality than what we had back when GIF was invented.
