Convert IPYNB (Jupyter Notebook) to GIF

The IPYNB file extension stands for "Interactive Python Notebook" and is used exclusively with Jupyter Notebook. It is a JSON file format that contains a complete record of user sessions, including code, narrative text, equations, and visualizations. The IPYNB files facilitate reproducible research and easy sharing of data analysis workflows. Originating from the IPython project, Jupyter Notebook has expanded its capabilities to support multiple programming languages, making it a versatile tool in the data science and machine learning communities. The format's history traces back to the early 2010s when it was developed to enhance interactive computing and collaborative work.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
