GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) - A graphics format in which images are constructed of tiny dots, also called pixels. Commonly used on the Internet because GIF files are small and can be downloaded quickly.
Graphics - Everything seen on a web page that is not text based, including pictures and illustration. There are basically two types of graphics for computers, vector graphics (object -based) that use computer algorithms to describe the shape, and raster graphics (bitmaps), that define the shape pixel by pixel.
