Image file formats dictate how digital images are stored and interpreted. Pixels that make up pictures are arranged according to the specific format. Common formats include JPEG, which uses lossy compression to greatly reduce file sizes while retaining image quality. TIFF can use either lossless or lossy compression. GIF is popular for images with fewer colors and uses lossless compression, supporting up to 256 colors. PNG was created as a free, open alternative to GIF and also uses lossless compression, making it suitable for editing applications.

- 1. Image File Format Prepared by: Jezer Axyll G. Valencia
- 2. What is Image File Format? The method to store and organize digital images. The manner of interpreting digital image files is due to the format of storing and coding the image files.
- 3. In addition, the element of the pictures, which are referred to as pixels or picture elements, are arranged and stored in a manner dictated by the format of the image.
- 4. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG or JPG) A compression method that complies with the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF). This format applies a “lossy” compression method to image files, which means that a huge number of pixels are lost or discarded in storing the image. The information is not lost, however, but a great space for storage is saved.
- 5. Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) This is a less common file format supported by Web browsers. This file format can use either the lossless or the lossy compression method.
- 6. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) This is a popular file format for storing graphical images with fewer colors. This file format supports 256 colors only GIF compression method uses lossless compression techniques.
- 7. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) The intention for the creation of this file format is to be a free and open source substitute for GIF. This file format is expressed to be fully compatible with online applications. This is a lossless compression method; thus, it is also used in editing applications.
