    That's... a great question. What's the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

    You're young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn't exist.

    But yes, it's quite strange nowadays, I agree Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)

    I'm not quite that young. Netizen is a "citizen of the internet", IIRC. More specifically, it's a portmanteau of "internet" and "citizen".

    I had also heard what the meaning of GIF was, though not so often that I could remember it off the top of my head.

    I'm not quite as old as the JPG format, but I do still remember using dial-up. I still remember accidentally logging into the internet when my dad was on the phone one day. I could hear his voice through the computer speakers. I immediately closed the browser. It was something that'd, surprisingly, never happened while I was on the computer before.

    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.
