Using The Right File Format In Icon Creation.
There are numerous image file formats that should be put to use for saving web graphics and for a newbie designer this can quickly lead to a big issue because you will need to know how to utilize a specific image format, here is a an explanation of the benefits and issues of some commonly used image formats.If you are interested in graphic making or would like to create graphical representations for your site, it is crucial to find out more about the varied file formats and their features so that you can utilize the right format for an icon. Normally used file types for graphics are JPEG, PNG and GIF, every one these file formats is known to have its own merits so lets look at the benefits and drawbacks of utilizing these formats, the type of image that will suit your web page and optimizing your icons for the web.
GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; this is one of the more well known file types. The image format is well accepted because of its tiny image size which makes uploading less time consuming. Also like JPEG, details are not lost in this image format which means you could store the image without using up a lot of space and compromising the image quality. Since GIF supports transparency in pictures, it is the most appropriate image formats for web graphic designing. Unlike the other image formats, animation is also possible in GIF. If you wish to optimize a GIF file, it is necessary to restrict the size of the file; it would be best that you pick a 32 color palette to achieve a suitably small size.
JPEG: This is the abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the file type is usually called JPG and is frequently incorporated on websites. One of the primary pros of using this type of format is that you can save the graphics in true color that offers you an impressive range of 16 million colors; this renders the file type suitable for use with photographs and images that include vast color work. One of the problems of using JPG is the loss of details that will have to be tackled each time the file is saved; this means that the graphic is susceptible to blurriness and a lot of details may be lost. Unlike the GIF format, transparency is not possible in this file format. If you are utilizing an advanced image editing software for instance, the Adobe Photoshop, you will have the liberty to choose the image quality and the size of the JPG file ; however, it is important to realize that a lower resolution equates to a smaller size, which is convenient to upload.
PNG: Is stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a very fresh file type. PNG is offered in two forms; PNG-8 which offers 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which has 24 color images. PNG-8 can compress images with great detail and without the normal loss of details experienced in GIF files; this gives high picture quality and quick uploads. However, PNG-24 is not as efficacious as JPG when you need to store photos and other illustrations that merit the use of a wider color palette. The file type is sans loss; this means that the image maintains its crispness and quality. PNG-24 offers the transparency feature and you can use different levels of the transparency feature in this format. With this type of file the images are professional looking because they do not have the jagged edges when placed on a contrasting background like GIF files.
