GIF Graphic Interchange file format

GIF image files are commonly used on the web to display graphics and logos. They also support basic
anima�on, which means they’re a popular file format for memes on social media sites. Learn more
about the key features of a GIF file, how to create one, and the advantages and disadvantages of the
GIF format.

PNG- Portable network Graphics

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. This file type is a design mainstay for web graphics and
logos, as well as detailed, high-contrast digital photos. Its main benefits include support of 16 million
colors, transparency, and lossless compression — but large file sizes means that PNGs aren’t always
the best op�on for everyday photo use.

Tiff- Tagged image file format

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files are common in publishing, photo edi�ng, and graphic design.
They’re a versa�le, standard format for different computer programs, but their poor online
compa�bility resulted in JPEGs becoming more popular. TIFFs are a good choice if you’re looking for
high resolu�on, layering, transparency, and flexibility between lossy and lossless compression. They
can also func�on as a container for other file types.

Targa- Targa raster graphic file format

A TARGA file is saved in the Targa raster graphic file format designed by Truevision. The format
supports 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits per pixel at a maximum of 24 bits for RGB colors and an 8-bit alpha
channel. The file is o�en used in video games to store textures.
