Using The Right Image Format For Your Icons.
There are several file formats that could be put to use for saving images and for a newbie website maker this can often lead to a big problem because you will have to know how to incorporate a specific file format, given below is a look at the advantages and drawbacks of some popular image formats.If you are keen on web graphic designing or would like to create graphical representations for your web site, it is imperative to know about the different image formats and their attributes so that you can make use of the appropriate format for an image. Normally used file formats for images are GIF, JPEG and PNG, every one these file types has its own traits so lets talk about the pros and cons of using these file formats, the type of image that should suit your web page and optimizing your images for the web usage.
GIF: It is short for Graphics Interchange Format; the image format is by far the most popular file type. The reason for its popularity is its small size which makes uploading less time consuming. But like in the JPEG format, data is not lost in this format ; this equates to the fact that you could store the file in a smaller size without compromising the quality of the picture. Since GIF supports transparency in pictures, it is the most appropriate formats for web graphic creation. Unlike the other formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you would like to optimize a GIF file, it is necessary to limit the file size; it would be best that you pick a 32 color palette to achieve the least possible size.
JPEG: This stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is usually called JPG and is often incorporated for online graphics. One of the main benefits of utilizing this type of image is that you can save the pictures in true color that gives you a palette of 16 million colors; making this image type ideal for storing photos and graphics that have vast color work. One of the cons of utilizing JPG is the information loss that will have to be tackled each time the image is saved; this points to the fact that the graphic is marred by clarity issues and some information may be lost. Unlike GIF, support for transparency is not provided in this file format. If you are using a superior image editor such as the Adobe Photoshop, you will have the liberty to choose the quality and the image file size ; however, it is important to realize that a lower resolution equates to a smaller size, which is convenient to upload.
PNG: Is an abbreviation for Portable Network Graphics and is a very new file type. PNG is provided in two forms; PNG-8 which is the 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which has 24 color pictures. PNG-8 can curtail the size graphics with fantastic detail and without the normal loss of data experienced in GIF files; this leads to high quality pictures and fast uploads. But, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you need to save pictures and other illustrations that need a wider color palette. The image format is sans loss; this means that the image holds on to its clarity and quality. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can include different levels of of the feature in this format. In this format the images are professional looking because they do not have the tell tale jagged edges when inserted against a contrasting color backgrounds like GIF files.
