Picking The Right Image Format For Your Icons.
There are innumerable image formats that can be used for saving icons and for a relatively raw designer this can often change into a sizable pain because you will have to know how to incorporate a specific file format, offered in this article is a take on the advantages and drawbacks of some commonly used formats.If you find yourself drawn to graphic making or wish to create graphical representations for your web site, it is imperative to know about the varied file formats and their attributes so that you can make use of the correct file type for an icon. Among the most popular file types for pictures are PNG, GIF and JPEG, all of these file formats has its own traits so lets look at the benefits and drawbacks of using these file formats, the type of image format that will live up to the requirements of your web page and optimizing your images for the web.
GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; the format is one of the more well known file types. The popularity of this format can be attributed tiny image size which makes uploading less time consuming. But like in the JPEG format, details are not lost in this format which means you will be able to save the file in a smaller size without compromising the quality of the images. GIF offers transparency support in graphics, it is the most suitable formats for picture creation. Unlike the other file types, animation is also offered in GIF. If you want to consider GIF image optimization, it is important to keep the size of the image small; it would be best that you choose a 32 color palette to get a suitably small size.
JPEG: This is short for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is commonly known as JPG and is usually incorporated on websites. One of the principle pros of using this type of format is that you will be able to save the images in true color that offers you an impressive range of 16 million colors; this renders the file format appropriate for saving photographs and pictures that boast of detailed color range. One of the cons of utilizing JPG is the loss of details that will have to be tackled every time the picture is stored; this equates to the fact that the graphic is susceptible to compromised clarity and many details may be lost. Unlike the GIF format, transparency support is not offered in this format. If you are using an advanced image editor for instance, the Adobe Photoshop, you can pick the image quality and the file size but it is vital to understand that a lower resolution equates to a smaller size, which is simple to upload.
PNG: Is stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a very new file type. PNG format is available in two forms; PNG-8 which offers 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which uses 24 color graphics. PNG-8 can compress graphics with great detail and without the usual loss of data seen in the GIf format; this leads to high quality pictures and quick upload time. But, PNG-24 is not as effective as JPG when you have to store photos and other graphics that require a wider color range. The format is sans loss; this means that the image holds on to its quality and clarity. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can utilize various levels of the transparency feature in this format. In this format the graphics are better looking because they do not have the tell tale jagged edges when pitched on a contrasting color backgrounds like GIF files.
