Another important characteristic of a GIF file is that it can be interlaced. In other words, it comes into a browser a little at a time so that you can quickly view pieces of the image, as illustrated in the images below, and determine whether you want to wait for the entire image to load. This feature saves time when you are surfing the Internet.
To save an interlaced GIF file, check the Interlace Image option
in the GIF Options dialog box.
