    This document compares and contrasts several common file formats for digital images, including JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, BMP, EPS, AI, and SVG. It outlines key details about each format such as whether they use bitmap or vector graphics, typical file size, and intended uses. JPEG is best for website images due to small file sizes and soft edges, while TIFF is useful for desktop publishing and prints. Vector formats like EPS, AI, and SVG allow for scalability and contain graphics as well as text. The document provides justification for the intended uses of each file format.

    Jpeg Joint photographic expert group


    this file format is often supported by
    all major operating systems. Jpeg
    works best for digital images as the
    edges and tones are softened and
    smoothed,
    they
    are
    also
    then
    compressed. Jpeg is not well suited for
    graphic design images and there is a
    lack of support for transparent images.
    The size allows it to be perfect for
    websites as images can be uploaded
    quickly.
    Gif
    abbreviated
    as
    Graphics
    interchange format popular for it
    portability and support. This format
    mainly supports animation which
    works by playing a sequence of
    images. Although, there isnt a loss of
    quality, the overall quality of images
    doesnt compare to other file formats.
    Gif is also good for the use of websites
    due to the quality and small file size.
    Tiff is used for storing bitmap graphics
    and can work on a range of operating
    systems. It is often printer that prefer
    or require TIFF files over JPG images.
    TIFF files dont require compression
    but can be if needed which is why TIFF
    is beneficial for desktop publishing and
    print design because they can store
    high quality and larger images such as
    photos.
    Portable network graphics (PNG) is the
    most used file format. PNG has a
    better image quality than JPEG and
    also useful to graphic designers due to
    the
    support
    for
    transparency.
    Negatively, it is not compatible with
    animation unlike GIF. PNG is mainly
    useful digital graphic images.
    BMP is short for bitmap and is
    recognised
    on
    the
    majority
    of
    operating platforms and systems. This
    format allows for the storage of colour
    data for each pixel in an image without
    compression, hence the large file size.
    This method allows for high quality
    graphics. BMP is mainly used for
    printable images as opposed to JPEG

    Images are
    manually
    compressed and
    therefore are small
    in size.

    Small image size


    but large enough
    to keep the image

    Can be

    Encapsulated
    postscript
    vector
    graphics abbreviated as EPS which
    works in adobe illustrator. Unlike the
    other file formats, this file format can
    contain text as well as graphics. This
    format also contains a bit map version
    of the image for simpler viewing.
    Al is a file format used in Adobe
    Illustrator and is a file extension for
    vector graphics. This format allows for
    vector graphics to be created, edited
    and opened.
    Scalable vector graphics (SVG) allows
    for 2D images to be displayed on the
    web in XML. SVG images are scalable
    to the size of the web page and will
    adjust in size and resolution according
    to the demand of the user. This format
    is very flexible. This format also allows
    for file animation.
