Web designers have always used to put pictures on web pages. But when you decide on what format the image should be? There are basically three main types of image formats that are supported by all browsers. These formats are
JPEG

GIF

PNG

JPEG is an abbreviation for a combined Photographic Experts Group, the organization that developed the JPEG format. JPEG images are primarily used when the images of millions of colors. JPEGalso recommended for all images. It 's also the best in a lossy compression. What is lossy compression? Well, by definition. A method of lossy compression when data is compressed with a loss of image information with the first data compression and then decompress the data retrieved by what we get is different from the original, but enough to be One way or another. It is not recommended in the JPEG format when we have a clear picture, with margins, if they can see that using fuzzyif not collapse. If there are images with text is better for the JPEG format to avoid.

As with GIF (Graphic Interchange Format)? It is best suited as the colors used are smaller in number than they give only 256 unique colors. Images stored in GIF format may seem drunk and can not be selected. PNG was developed as a replacement for the GIF format to avoid legal costs. GIF to PNG is not so great for photos. But the advantage is that PNGformats have less loss of compression.

Some of the other major image formats are TIFF, PPM, PGM, PBM, PNM, and SVG.
