    The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?

    You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.

      Yeah, but it’s almost always used for animations. Seeing one that’s not animated just feels… weird.

        Now, that’s just a recent development. 20 years ago it was a common format for images on the interwebs.
