Picking The Correct Image Format In Icon Creation.

There are several image formats that can be utilized for saving web graphics and for an inexperienced designer this can usually lead to a big issue because you should know how to use a certain format, offered in this article is an explanation of the advantages and issues of some popular file formats.

If you are keen on graphic making or want to create pictorial depictions for your site, it is crucial to know about the various file formats and their features so that you can use the appropriate file type for an image. Among the most popular file types for images are JPEG, PNG and GIF, all of these file types is known to have its own merits so lets discuss the pros and cons of utilizing these formats, the type of file that should suit your web page and optimizing your web graphics for the web usage.

GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; the image format is one of the most commonly used 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, information is not lost in this image format this means you could store the graphic in a smaller size without compromising the image quality. Since GIF supports transparency in graphics, it is by far the most commonly used formats for web graphic making. Unlike the other formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you want to go for GIF file optimization, it is vital to restrict the size of the file; it would be best that you select a 32 color palette to achieve the smallest possible size.

JPEG: This is short for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is usually called JPG and is often seen for online graphics. One of the main pros of using this type of file is that you could store the images in true color that gives you an impressive range of 16 million colors; this makes the file type ideal for use with photographs and pictures that include vast color work. One of the cons of utilizing JPG is the data loss that will have to be tackled every time the image is stored; this points to the fact that the picture is marred by compromised clarity and a lot of details may be lost. Unlike the GIF format, transparency support is not offered in this file type. If you have chosen a superior image editor such as the Adobe Photoshop, you can choose the image quality and the image file size ; however, it is vital to realize that the lower the resolution the smaller the size, which is simple to upload.

PNG: Is short for Portable Network Graphics and is a relatively fresh file format. PNG format is available in two forms; PNG-8 which has a 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which offers 24 color pictures. PNG-8 can curtail the size graphics with great detail and without the customary loss of details seen in in GIF images; this leads to improved quality pictures and quick upload time. But, PNG-24 is not as efficacious as JPG when you have to store photos and other illustrations that require a more detailed palette of colors. The file type is sans loss; this means that the photograph retains its quality and clarity. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can utilize various levels of the transparency feature in this image type. With this type of file the images are better looking because you cant see jagged lines when pitched against a contrasting color backgrounds like GIF files.
