      GIF was
      (and is still used) popular format for storing images supporting
      multiple images per file and single color transparency.
      Pixel format is 8 bit indexed where each image frame can have
      its own color palette. GIF uses lossless LZW compression
      (patent expired few years ago).
      Imaging can load and save all GIFs with all frames and supports
      transparency.
