Using An Appropriate Image File Format When Making Graphics.

There are numerous file formats that could be used for storing images and for a newbie web creator this can often change into a major pain because you should know how to utilize a specific image format, given below is an explanation of the benefits and issues of some well known formats.

If you are interested in web graphic designing or want to create pictorial depictions for your web page, it is essential to find out more about the various image formats and their traits so that you can use the correct file format for graphics. Some of the commonly used formats for images are PNG, GIF and JPEG, all of these file formats boasts of a fair share of advantages so lets look at the pros and cons of utilizing these file formats, the type of image that will suit your website and optimizing your web graphics for the internet.

GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; this is one of the more well known file types. The image format is well accepted because of its tiny image size which makes uploading less time consuming. But like in the JPEG format, details are not lost in this file type ; this equates to the fact that you will be able to store the graphic without using up a lot of space and deteriorating the image quality. GIF offers transparency support in images, it is one of the most commonly used file formats for picture making. Unlike the other formats, animation is also possible in GIF. If you want to go for GIF file optimization, it is vital to restrict the size of the file; it is recommended that you choose a 32 color palette to get a suitably small size.

JPEG: This stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is generally known as JPG and is frequently seen on websites. One of the principle advantages of utilizing this type of format is that you will be able to save the graphics in true color that affords you an impressive range of 16 million colors; making this file type suitable for use with photographs and graphics that have vast color work. One of the problems of using JPG is the data loss that is encountered each time the image is saved; this means that the graphic is susceptible 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 utilizing an innovative image editor like the Adobe Photoshop, you can select the quality and the file size but it is imperative to understand that a lower resolution will mean a small size, which is simple to upload.

PNG: Is stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a very fresh image format. This format is available in two versions types; PNG-8 which is the 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which offers 24 color images. PNG-8 can compress graphics with fantastic detail and without the normal loss of information seen in GIF files; this gives better picture quality and quick uploads. But, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you have to store photographs and other graphics that merit the use of a wider color range. The file type is not limited by loss; this means that the picture maintains its quality and clarity. PNG-24 supports transparency and you can utilize various levels of transparency in this file format. With this type of file the graphics are professional looking because they do not have the tell tale jagged edges when placed on a contrasting background like GIF files.
