1. Here Are Some Formats You May Or May Not Know
But Will Be Discussed In This Help-sheet.

2. • Stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
• This is very versatile format as it can be sentvia
email as it can change size. It supports
compression very well as it saves a as a very high
quality image.
• It is mainly used for photography
• A disadvantage is that JPEG doesn’t work very
well with simpler images those with not much
detail or colour
• This could be perfect for taking photographs for
editing on a logo.

3. • BMP File Format or simply a Bitmap.
• Bitmap is raster file
• BMPis a file format which was invented by
Microsoft. There is really no reason to ever
use this format because Free Creative use only
Macs.
• Does not support compression
• DON’T USE ON MACS!

4. • GIF stands for Graphic Interchange format
• Gif is file format manly used recurring moving
images or animation, the two images at the top
are examples of GIFS
• The format only support 8 bits per pixel and also
only has 256 colour palette which means some
colours might not show.
• GIF is highly supported by the internet
• You would use this to make an animation of the
logo to go on the website

5. • TIF stands for Tagged image file
• It is a raster file so it saves its images in pixels
this has its ups and downs because with this
the image is much smoother and sharp but it
also makes the file huge.
• Web browsers also do not support this file but
scanners work best with them
• You would use TIF when did to scan something
in such as drawing ideas of the logos

6. • PNG stands for portable network graphics.
• Similar to TIFF because it is a raster file so the
same problem occurs with the file being very big.
• It also is a platform independent format which
means you don’t need a certain program to use it
which is a big advantage
• This file is supported by more recent web
browsers but may cause troubles with old web
browsers
• This could be used to put our logo on our website
