Check our videoThe TAR file format is a widely used archival format for storing multiple files in a single container, commonly associated with Unix and Linux systems. It is supported by tools like GNU Tar, 7-Zip, and various file archivers, and is often combined with compression formats like GZIP or BZIP2. The format stores files sequentially with metadata such as permissions, timestamps, and ownership, and supports advanced features like symbolic links, hard links, and sparse file handling.
The GIF is a widely used bitmap image format known for its support of animations and lossless compression, making it ideal for simple graphics and short animations. It is supported by most image viewers, web browsers, and editing tools like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and online platforms such as Canva. The format uses a color palette of up to 256 colors, supports transparency, and stores multiple frames in a single file, enabling looping animations with optional interlacing for progressive display.
