Using The Right Image File Format In Icon Creation.
There are numerous file formats that can be used for storing images and for a relatively raw web creator this can often lead to a major issue because you will have to understand how to use a specific file format, given below is an explanation of the advantages and issues of some commonly used formats.If you find yourself drawn to web graphic designing or wish to create pictorial depictions for your site, it is essential to know about the various image formats and their attributes so that you can use the appropriate file type for an icon. Some of the commonly used file types for images are GIF, JPEG and PNG, each one of these formats boasts of a fair share of advantages so lets talk about the benefits and drawbacks of incorporating these file formats, the type of file that would live up to the requirements of your web page and optimizing your web graphics for the web.
GIF: It is the abbreviation for Graphics Interchange Format; the format is one of the more well known file types. The reason for its popularity is its image size that is very small which makes uploading a breeze. Also like JPEG, data is not lost in this image format which means you will be able to save the graphic without using up a lot of space and messing the quality of the picture. GIF offers transparency support in images, it is the most suitable file formats for icon creation. Unlike the other image formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you want to consider GIF image optimization, it is important to restrict the size of the file; it is advisable that you choose a 32 color palette to achieve the smallest possible size.
JPEG: This is the abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the file format is usually known as JPG and is usually used on websites. One of the principle benefits of using this type of file is that you could save the images in true color that gives you as many as 16 million colors; this makes the image type suitable for storing photographs and pictures that include detailed color work. One of the cons of using JPG is the information loss that will have to be tackled every time the file is saved; this equates to the fact that the graphic is prone to clarity issues and many data may be lost. Unlike other file formats such as GIF, transparency is not possible in this file format. If you are using a superior image editing program such as the Adobe Photoshop, you can select the image quality and the image file size ; however, it is vital to understand that a lower resolution equates to a smaller size, which is easy to upload.
PNG: Is an abbreviation for Portable Network Graphics and is a fairly fresh file type. PNG format is offered in two versions types; PNG-8 which has a 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which has 24 color images. PNG-8 can compress pictures with wonderful detail and without the normal loss of details observed in GIF files; this gives better quality pictures and fast uploads. However, PNG-24 is not as efficacious as JPG when you want to store photos and other illustrations that merit the use of a vaster color palette. The format is not limited by loss; this means that the image holds on to its quality and clarity. PNG-24 offers the transparency feature and you can include different levels of transparency in this image type. With this type of file the graphics are professional looking because you cant see jagged lines when placed against a contrasting background like GIF files.
