Both formats, briefly
ARWIN
ARW is the raw file from Sony Alpha and Cyber-shot cameras. It keeps the full sensor output, typically 12 or 14 bits per channel against the 8 bits a JPG gives you, and that headroom is what lets you lift shadows or rescue highlights afterwards without banding. Sony's own software and the main raw editors open ARW. Ordinary viewers, phones and upload forms often do not, which is the point at which you need a converted copy.
GIFOUT
GIF is the old format that short looping animations never left. Each frame is limited to 256 colors, which keeps files small and flat artwork clean while photographs come out banded. Compression is lossless within that palette, and transparency is a simple on or off per pixel with no soft edges. Pick GIF when you want a moving image that plays in any browser, email client or chat window without a video player.
