Both formats, briefly
DDSIN
DDS keeps textures in the form a graphics card wants to receive them. Block compressed data such as DXT and BC stays compressed in video memory, and mipmaps, cube maps and volume textures can all sit in the same file, so an engine loads it and draws with it directly. If you are modding a game, preparing assets for DirectX, or looking at art unpacked from a title, DDS is what you are handling.
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.
