Image File Types

GIF Files-  A GIF FILE is the arrangement and duration of each image in the series of images is specified by control statements within the GIF file.


JPEG Files-  JPEG format is best for compressing photographic images. So if you see a large, colorful image on the Web, it is most likely a JPEG file.


Animated Gif Files- An animated GIF is a graphic file type that is composed of many different images on top of each other. Together these images are compressed and work together, creating movement, and give the appearance of a mini movie. GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format.


MPEG Files- Short for Moving Picture Experts Group, the term also refers to the family of digital video compression standards and file formats developed by the group. MPEG generally produces better-quality video than competing formats.


Shockwave Files- The filename extension for Adobe Shockwave Flash animated vector graphics files.


Vector based images generally contain well-defined elements such as curves and shapes of various colors and on the other hand Bitmap-based images, do not rely on mathematical formulas to define their various elements.
