OverviewThis extension is predominantly used to design web pages which are displayed by different browsers such as Safari, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google; etc. Web browsers get the HTML document from a web server and in return, generate the document into multimedia web pages on a user's device. The source code can be viewed by choosing an option ‘View page source' (appears on right-click) from a web page or by using a shortcut that is ‘Ctrl + U'. In actual words, this format directs the browser on how to exhibit the words and images of a web page to the user. It may include images, audio, video and scripts as well.
Technical descriptionIt helps to create a structured document where semantics are used to display text such as paragraphs, headings, hyperlinks, tables and quotes; etc. The building blocks of HTML pages are their elements which are designed by tags using angle brackets. For example, <img /> and <input /> tags help to submit content into the page, <p> tag provides information about the document text, . Apart from this, the technologies that support this format are CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript, which is a scripting language. Here is a list of few basic elements or tags. <head> for metadata, <body> defines the body of the webpage, <h1> text header for creating a text title, <p> specify a paragraph, <img> to embed an image, <ul> to indicate an unordered list with no numerical order or bullet list and <div> used to define sections or divisions.

OverviewGIF is an image format which is known worldwide and it is used as a second option after JPEG. It offers high portability between OS(Operating Systems) and applications. Each picture can support up to 8 bits per pixel, as a resultant, it enables an image to have a separate palette of up to 256 distinct colours that are taken from the 24-bit RGB colour space. Furthermore, it is commonly used for web graphics, logos with solid colour and also for animated images. These files are saved as ‘animated GIFs' and it displays general animations on websites. Besides this, this format has the capability to blend varied colour backgrounds due to the presence of transparent pixels. It should be noted that pixels should be either fully transparent or opaque so that it doesn’t result in the faded picture.
Technical descriptionGIF is an inadequate format for colour photographs due to palette limitations. It enables an independent palette of up to 256 colors for a solo frame. These files are compressed using a lossless data compression algorithm known as LZW( Lempel-Ziv-Welch) and this algorithm was created by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv and Terry Welch. It removes the unwanted colours that are not in use to compress raster data. The maximum limit which is permitted for colours is 256 and the minimum is 2 (black and white). Apart from this, it has a fixed-length header which gives the version and pixel dimensions are provided by the ‘logical screen' descriptor.
