Choosing An Appropriate File Format In Icon Creation.
There are numerous file formats that could be put to use for saving images and for a relatively raw designer this can usually change into a major problem because you will need to understand how to utilize a particular format, here is a a look at the benefits and issues of some popular file formats.If you find yourself drawn to graphic making or wish to create pictorial depictions for your web site, it is essential to find out more about the various image file formats and their traits so that you can make use of the correct file format for an icon. Normally used formats for images are GIF, JPEG and PNG, every one these formats is known to have its own merits so lets look at the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating these formats, the type of image that will suit your site and optimizing your images for the web.
GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; the format is one of the most commonly used file types. The image format is well accepted because of its tiny image size which makes uploading a breeze. Unlike JPEG, information is not lost in this image format which means you will be able to save the file without using up a lot of space and deteriorating the quality of the picture. The format is also known to support transparency in pictures, it is one of the most commonly used formats for icon creation. Unlike the other formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you wish to optimize a GIF file, it is vital to limit the file size; it would be best that you pick a 32 color palette to create the smallest possible size.
JPEG: This stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is commonly known as JPG and is often seen in web designing. One of the main benefits of utilizing this type of file is that you can save the graphics in true color that offers you an impressive range of 16 million colors; making this file type appropriate for saving photographs and graphics that have vast color range. One of the cons of utilizing JPG is the information loss that will have to be tackled every time the picture is saved; this means that the picture is prone to compromised clarity and a lot of information may be lost. Unlike GIF, support for transparency is not provided in this format. If you are utilizing an advanced image editing software for instance, the Adobe Photoshop, you will be able to choose the quality and the file size ; however, it is important to realize that the lower the resolution the smaller the size, which is simple to upload.
PNG: Is short for Portable Network Graphics and is a fairly new image format. PNG format is available in two versions types; PNG-8 which offers 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which has 24 color images. PNG-8 can compress pictures with great detail and without the usual loss of information seen in the GIf format; this gives better quality pictures and fast uploads. But, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you want to save photos and other graphics that merit the use of a vaster palette of colors. The image format is not limited by loss; this means that the photograph retains its crispness and quality. PNG-24 supports transparency and you can include various levels of transparency in this file format. In this format the images are better looking because they do not have the tell tale jagged edges when inserted on a contrasting color backgrounds like GIF files.
