GIF Format is Great for Image-Rich Documents
Most images in documents need to be compressed and GIF is a reliable format since it does not distort the quality of the images. Images in their original state and their compressed state will look the same. This output format is also good for documents that have well-defined boundaries between colors as well as for pictures with a lot of lines. The same goes with JPG format as it compresses the images and makes sharing documents a lot easier without losing any significant details

If you want to compress image-rich documents and maintain the quality without any loss of data, GIF, and PNG format would be good options. PNG, however, is a bit advanced in comparison to GIF since it can support more colors than GIF.

GIF has 256 colors, while PNG has even more than that. This means that you can maintain the document quality without loss of color when printing. Whether you are carrying out wide-format printing or the ordinary size, the document will appear as it is supposed to.
