GIFF, or Graphical InterFace File, is a proprietary image file format developed by Compuserve for storing, transmitting, and viewing pictures and images. It was used primarily in early computer graphics systems to facilitate image sharing across networks.
While largely obsolete today due to modern formats like JPEG and PNG, GIFF played a role in the development of digital image handling and file transfer. Understanding GIFF provides historical context for the evolution of digital image formats and the early days of online graphics.
