5 Raster Image File Formats

The document summarizes 5 common raster image file formats (BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP) and 5 vector image file formats (SVG, AI, CDR, PDF, EPS). BMP files store raw bitmap images and are better for editing. JPEG files automatically compress to reduce file size but lower quality. PNG files support transparency and 16 million colors. GIF files support up to 256 colors and are for basic internet images. WebP is a new format by Google for lossless and lossy compression to reduce image file size. Vector formats like SVG and EPS can be scaled without quality loss due to mathematical representations of images.

5 Raster Image File Formats


BMP: Microsoft Windows Bitmap Format (BMP),.BMP is a simple raster
graphics image file format designed to store bitmap digital images independently
of a display device, originally and primarily on Microsoft Windows and OS/2
operating systems. BMP files contain large, raw, high-quality images, which makes
them better for editing. Invented in 1987 by Microsoft Corporation.
Example: image.bmp .
JPEG: JPEG (often seen with its file extension . jpg or . jpeg) stands for "Joint
Photographic Experts Group", which is the name of the group who created the
JPEG standard in 1992. JPEG files automatically compress, so they're generally
smaller and of lower quality.
Example: image.jpg .
PNG: Portable Network Graphic, a type of raster image file. It's particularly
popular file type with web designers because it can handle graphics with
transparent or semi-transparent backgrounds. PNG files, which use the .png
extension, can handle 16 million colors — which definitely sets them apart from
most file types. The PNG image format was launched in 1995. IT expert Oliver
Fromme came up with the name PING, later shortened to PNG. From the outset,
PNGs were designed with the web in mind. Because of this, they don’t support
CMYK colour modes, so transferring them to print can prove difficult.
Example: image.png
GIF: GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. GIF is a raster file format
designed for relatively basic images that appear mainly on the internet. Each file
can support up to 8 bits per pixel and can contain 256 indexed colors. It was
created in 1987.
Example: move.gif
WebP:It is a new image that is designed by Google. It is used for both lossless
and lossy compression. Reducing image file size, speeds up web page loading.
This format purposes a JPEG file as the primary format for the photographers on
the web.
5 Vector Image File Format
SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a web-friendly vector file format. As
opposed to pixel-based raster files like JPEGs, vector files store images via
mathematical formulas based on points and lines on a grid. The SVG file format is
a popular tool for displaying two-dimensional graphics, charts, and illustrations on
websites. Plus, as a vector file, it can be scaled up or down without losing any of
its resolution. It introduced in 1999.
Example: graph.svg
AI:AI, which stands for Adobe Illustrator, is the proprietary Adobe file type for
vector images. Invented in 1987.
Example: illustration.ai
CDR: CorelDRAW Image File. CDR is a file format which was developed by the
Corel Corporation in 1989. and is used mainly for vector graphic images and
drawings. The CDR file format is recognized by the majority of image editing
programs.
Example: graphic.cdr
PDF: PDF stands for "portable document format". Essentially, the format is used
when you need to save files that cannot be modified but still need to be easily
shared and printed. Today most devices have a version of Adobe Reader or can
open a PDF in an Internet Browser.
Example: book.pdf
EPS : Encapsulated Postscript files are a type of vector graphic file that uses the
file extension . eps. EPS files are lossless, meaning that the file stores the
information about the graphic in a way that makes it possible to enlarge or reduce
the image without losing any quality.
Example : graphic.esp
