.gif image stands for = Graphics Interchange Format.

.png images are for = Portable Network Graphics.

.jpeg or jpg are for = Joint Photographic Experts Group or Joint Photographic Groups.

Most systems on the internet or documents use or require .png images because there size is less compared to others and they can load fairly quickly for users to view.
