Choosing An Appropriate File Format For Your Icons.
There are several image file formats that could be used for saving icons and for a relatively raw designer this can usually lead to a big pain because you will have to understand how to use a specific image format, here is a a look at the benefits and issues of some popular file formats.If you find yourself drawn to icon making or would like to create pictorial depictions for your web site, it is crucial to find out more about the various image formats and their traits so that you can make use of the appropriate file type for graphics. Normally used file types for graphics are PNG, GIF and JPEG, each one of these file formats has its own traits so lets look at the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating these formats, the type of image format that would live up to the requirements of your website and optimizing your images for the web usage.
GIF: It is the abbreviation for Graphics Interchange Format; the image format is one of the more well known file types. The popularity of this format can be attributed small size which makes uploading less time consuming. Also like JPEG, details are not lost in this format this means you will be able to store the graphic at just a few bytes and without compromising the image quality. GIF offers transparency support in pictures, it is the most suitable formats for picture making. Unlike the other file types, scope for animation is also possible in GIF. If you wish to consider GIF image optimization, it is vital to limit the file size; it would be best that you choose a 32 color palette to achieve the least possible size.
JPEG: This is the abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is generally called JPG and is often seen in web designing. One of the primary pros of incorporating this type of image is that you will be able to store the pictures in true color that gives you an impressive range of 16 million colors; making this image type appropriate for saving photos and images that include vast color work. One of the cons of using JPG is the information loss that is encountered every time the image is saved; this means that the graphic is prone to clarity issues and many information may be lost. Unlike the GIF format, support for transparency is not provided in this format. If you are utilizing a superior image editor such as the Adobe Photoshop, you will be able to pick the quality and the file size ; however, it is important to realize that a lower resolution equates to a smaller size, which is simple to upload.
PNG: Is short for Portable Network Graphics and is a fairly fresh image format. This format is provided in two versions types; PNG-8 which offers 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which uses 24 color pictures. PNG-8 can curtail the size graphics with great detail and without the normal loss of details observed in the GIf format; this leads to better quality pictures and quick uploads. However, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you have to save photographs and other graphics that need a more detailed color palette. The file type is not limited by loss; this means that the photograph maintains its clarity and quality. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can utilize varying degrees of the transparency feature in this image type. When you use this file format the graphics are smoother because they do not have the jagged edges when placed in relation to a background with contrasting colors like GIF files.
