GIFs, of course!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes\u2026 GIFs were invented to provide a color image format at a time when the format supported only black and white. With more changes in its algorithm, GIFs have grown to what they are now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, you notice GIFs being used everywhere. Right from social media sites to chat communities. They serve their purpose well by helping the audience have a good time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Jason Eppink, curator of digital media at the Museum of Moving Images had rightly said, \u201cBefore, GIFs were dressing up the content. But now, the GIF itself has become the destination.\u201d From being used as mere comments\/replies on social media or conversations, they have grown to be a stand-alone social media post. And the best part is, people love it, thanks to its quirkiness!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, they are also used as a part of blog posts. This can be a feast for the eyes cuz,<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will serve as a break from those long paragraphs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explaining a particular emotion can be quite a task with text. But with GIFs, this has never been easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summing things up, GIFs are fantastic, and there are GIFs for every mood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did we blow your mind with those facts?
