Ani files are Windows Animated Cursor files that are used for displaying custom animated mouse cursors in the Windows operating system. They are similar to animated GIFs and can be created with various image editing programs.
The CompuServe GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image file format that is used to store and display bitmap images. It is widely used on the internet due to its ability to compress and store large amounts of data without losing its quality. GIFs are often used for small, simple animations.
