Picking The Right File Format In Icon Creation.
There are several file formats that can be used for storing web graphics and for an inexperienced web creator this can usually change into a big problem because you will need to know how to incorporate a particular file format, offered in this article is an explanation of the advantages and issues of some commonly used image formats.If you find yourself drawn to web graphic designing or would like to create icons for your web page, it is imperative to learn about the varied file formats and their traits so that you can use the correct file type for graphics. Among the most popular formats for pictures are JPEG, PNG and GIF, all of these file formats is known to have its own merits so lets look at the pros and cons of utilizing these file formats, the type of image that would live up to the requirements of your site and optimizing your images for the internet.
GIF: It is short for Graphics Interchange Format; this is by far the most popular file type. The image format is well accepted because of its image size that is very small which makes uploading less time consuming. Also like JPEG, information is not lost in this format this means you will be able to save the graphic in a smaller size without messing the quality of the picture. The format is also known to support transparency in pictures, it is the most commonly used file formats for web graphic making. Unlike the other image formats, animation is also possible in GIF. If you would like to optimize a GIF file, it is vital to keep the size of the image small; it is advisable that you choose a 32 color palette to get the smallest possible size.
JPEG: This is the abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is usually known as JPG and is usually used in web designing. One of the principle benefits of incorporating this type of image is that you could store the pictures in true color that gives you as many as 16 million colors; making this image type appropriate for storing photos and images that boast of detailed color work. One of the issues of using JPG is the loss of details that is encountered each time the picture is stored; this points to the fact that the image is marred by blurriness and many data may be lost. Unlike other file formats such as GIF, transparency support is not offered in this file format. If you have chosen an advanced image editing program for instance, the Adobe Photoshop, you will be able to pick the quality and the image file size ; however, it is important to realize that a lower resolution will mean a small size, which is convenient to upload.
PNG: Is short for Portable Network Graphics and is a very new file type. PNG format is offered in two versions types; PNG-8 which is the 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which uses 24 color graphics. PNG-8 can curtail the size images with great detail and without the customary loss of details seen in the GIf format; this gives high picture quality and quick uploads. However, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you want to store pictures and other graphics that merit the use of a wider palette of colors. The file type is not limited by loss; this means that the image maintains its clarity and quality. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can use different levels of the transparency feature in this image type. When you use this file format the images are professional looking because they do not have the jagged edges when pitched against a contrasting color backgrounds like GIF files.
