This is my photo saved as a Gif with only 6 colors. You can see that the quality is terrible and you can barely see anything in the picture. When you save things as Gif files it goes into Indexed color mode. Indexed color mode only has 256 colors or less. As stated before, there are only 6 colors in this photo.
This is that same photo saved as a gif with 200 colors in it. As you can see the photo is much clearer. You can see a lot more of the details. The photo isn't smudged together like the first picture. Even though the picture is the same, this picture has a bigger file size. The file size is bigger because there is a lot more data to be saved. The amount of colors that you use in a picture makes the photo bigger or smaller when it comes to file size
