IMAGE FILE

FORMATS
LESSON 6
BIG IDEA!
Image formats are
different from one
another. Nevertheless,
the computer will
display the image
regardless of the
format.
WHAT IS FILE
FORMATS?
File formats,
specifically image file
formats, are facilities
or methods to store
and organize digital
images.
WHAT ARE PIXELS?
These are the
elements of the
pictures that are
arranged and stored in
a manner dictated by
the format of the
image.
DIFFERENT
FILE
FORMATS
Joint Photographic
Experts Group (JPEG
or JPG) – this is a
compression method that
complies with the JPEG file
Interchange Format (JFIF).
This format applies a
“lossy” compression
method to image files,
which means a huge
number of pixels are lost or
discarded in storing images.
Tagged Imaged File
Format (TIFF) – this
is a less common file
format supported by
Web browsers. This
file format can use
either the lossless or
the lossy compression
method.
Graphics
Interchange
Format (GIF) – this
is a popular file
format for storing
graphical images
with fewer colors.
This file format
supports 256 colors
only. GIF compression
method uses lossless
compression
techniques.
Portable Network
Graphics (PNG) – the
intention for the
creation of this file
format is to be a free
and open-source
substitute for GIF. This
file format is expected
to be fully compatible
with online
applications.
REFLECT
UPON!
 Have you experienced
opening a certain file
and finding out that it
will open only with a
specific application?
Can you recall some of
these files and their
extension names?
What are the
applications associated
with these files?
