When Animation GiFs are stored, they require a relatively small file size capacity, which takes up less room on your device which is better for it to keep running faster.
They are easy to make as they are just images put together in different frames to create the illusion of the object actually moving where it actually isn't.
As well as small file sizes GIFs also support transparent backgrounds and therefore can help show a professional look to a website with an animation over a different background.
Another advantage of GIFs is that can show something in a better way than would normally be possible as they can show emotions and movement which a still image may not be able to, this might also be helpful when creating tutorial animations. This also ties in with the fact that using GIF files can entice different, younger audiences as the children may be amused by these animations.
