Picking The Correct Image File Format In Icon Creation.
There are innumerable file formats that could be put to use for saving images and for a newbie website maker this can quickly change into a sizable pain because you will need to understand how to use a certain file format, here is a a take on the advantages and drawbacks of some well known formats.If you are keen on icon making or would like to create graphical representations for your web page, it is imperative to find out more about the different image formats and their attributes so that you can use the appropriate file format for an image. Some of the commonly used formats for graphics are PNG, GIF and JPEG, every one these file formats is known to have its own merits so lets discuss the pros and cons of incorporating these formats, the type of image that will meet the expectations your website 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 image format is well accepted because of its image size that is very small which makes it easy to upload them. Unlike JPEG, details are not lost in this file type ; this equates to the fact that you could save the image without using up a lot of space and compromising the quality of the images. GIF offers transparency support in pictures, it is by far the most suitable file formats for picture designing. Unlike the other image formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you would like to optimize a GIF file, it is important to keep the size of the image small; it would be best that you select a 32 color palette to get the least possible size.
JPEG: This is short for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the file type is usually called JPG and is frequently seen for online graphics. One of the main pros of using this type of format is that you will be able to store the images in true color that affords you a palette of 16 million colors; making this file type ideal for use with photographs and graphics that include detailed color range. One of the issues of using JPG is the information loss that will have to be tackled each time the file is saved; this means that the picture is marred by blurriness and a lot of details may be lost. Unlike other file formats such as GIF, support for transparency is not provided in this file format. If you are using an innovative image editor like the Adobe Photoshop, you can pick the quality and the size of the JPG file ; however, it is vital to comprehend that a lower resolution equates to a smaller size, which is easy to upload.
PNG: Is stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a relatively new file type. PNG format is offered in two forms; PNG-8 which offers 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which uses 24 color images. PNG-8 can curtail the size pictures with fantastic detail and without the usual loss of details experienced in GIF files; this gives better picture quality and quick uploads. But, PNG-24 is not as effective as JPG when you want to store pictures and other illustrations that require a vaster color range. The format is loss-less; this means that the photograph retains its clarity and quality. PNG-24 supports transparency and you can include different levels of the transparency feature in this file format. With this type of file the pictures are better looking because they do not have the tell tale jagged edges when placed on a background with contrasting colors like GIF files.
