Using The Correct Image File Format For Your Icons.
There are numerous image formats that can be put to use for storing web graphics and for a newbie website maker this can often change into a big pain because you should understand how to utilize a particular file format, offered in this article is an explanation of the benefits and issues of some commonly used file formats.
If you find yourself drawn to web graphic designing or want to create pictorial depictions for your web site, it is crucial to find out more about the various file formats and their features so that you can make use of the correct format for an icon. Among the most popular file formats for pictures are GIF, JPEG and PNG, each one of these file types is known to have its own merits so lets discuss the pros and cons of incorporating these formats, the type of image that will suit your web page and optimizing your images for the web usage.
GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; the format is one of the most commonly used file types. The popularity of this format can be attributed image size that is very small which makes uploading less time consuming. Unlike JPEG, information is not lost in this image format ; this equates to the fact that you will be able to save the graphic at just a few bytes and without compromising the image quality. GIF offers transparency support in pictures, it is by far the most suitable formats for icon making. Unlike the other formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you would like to optimize a GIF file, it is vital to restrict the size of the file; it would be best that you pick a 32 color palette to get a suitably small size.
JPEG: This is the abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the file type is generally called JPG and is usually used on websites. One of the main benefits of using this type of image is that you will be able to save the images in true color that affords you a palette of 16 million colors; making this file type ideal for saving photos and images that include vast color work. One of the cons of using JPG is the information loss that you will have to deal with each time the file is stored; this means that the image is prone to compromised clarity and some details may be lost. Unlike the GIF format, transparency is not possible in this format. If you are utilizing an advanced image editor for instance, the Adobe Photoshop, you can pick the image quality and the file size ; however, it is imperative to realize that a lower resolution will mean a small size, which is simple to upload.
PNG: Is an abbreviation for Portable Network Graphics and is a very fresh file format. PNG is offered in two forms; 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 fantastic detail and without the usual loss of data observed in the GIf format; this leads to improved picture quality and fast uploads. However, PNG-24 is not as effective as JPG when you need to save photos and other illustrations that merit the use of a vaster color palette. The file type is not limited by loss; this means that the picture retains its clarity and quality. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can use different levels of the transparency feature in this image type. In this format the graphics are better looking because they do not have the jagged edges when placed in relation to a background with contrasting colors like GIF files.
