Gifs have a compressed look to them because it’s quite limited in number of colours it can have. But gifs are ~acrually uncompressed~ barely compressed lossless images, similar to .bmp (bitmaps).
Edit: Clarified GIFs are actually compressed, just lossless.

GIF does do some mild compression (with an algorithm from 1984). But the compression is lossless like bitmap, if that’s what you mean…
Thanks for pointing it out. I forgot if they were actually compressed or not.
