What is the graphic file format?

BMP bitmap format
The most typical application of BMP format is the Windows paint brush. The file is almost uncompress and occupies a large disk space. Its color storage format is 1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, and 24-bit, this format is widely used today. However, the disadvantage is that the format file is large, so it can only be applied on a single machine, not welcome to the network.
GIF format
This graphic format is widely used on the Internet, because the 256 colors can meet the requirements of home page graphics, and the file size is small, suitable for transmission and use in the network environment.
JPEG format
Different compression ratios can be used to compress such files. The compression technology is very advanced and has little impact on image quality. Therefore, image quality can be achieved with the least disk space. Because of its excellent performance, it is widely used. On the Internet, it is a mainstream graphic format.
PCX format
The PCX format is a format developed by ZSOFT when developing the image processing software Paintbrush. The storage format ranges from 1 to 24 bits. It is a compressed format that consumes less disk space. Because the format takes a long time and has the ability of compression and full color, the PCX format is still very popular.
PSD format (Photoshop format)
The standard file format self-built by Photoshop, an image processing software developed by Adobe, is the PSD format. Among The formats supported by this software, the PSD format is much faster to access than other formats, powerful functions. Due to the increasing application of Photoshop software, this format is gradually becoming popular. The PSD format is a special format for Photoshop. It can store various design drafts, such as layers, channels, and masks.
TIFF format
The TIFF format is characterized by complex graphic formats and a large amount of storage information. A large number of textures in 3DS and 3DS MAX are in the TIFF format. The maximum color depth of TIFF is 32 bit, and LZW lossless compression can be used for storage.
PNG format
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a new format of Network Graphics. It combines the advantages of GIF and JPEG and features rich storage formats. The maximum color depth of PNG is 48 bits, which are stored in lossless compression mode. The default format of Fireworks of the famous Macromedia Company is PNG.
SVG format (currently the most popular image file format)
SVG is the abbreviation of Scalable Vector Graphics. It indicates a Scalable Vector image. It is an open standard vector graphics language that allows you to design exciting, high-resolution Web graphics pages. The software provides tools for making complex elements, such as gradient, embedded fonts, transparent effects, animations, and filter effects, and can be inserted into HTML encoding using common font commands. SVG is developed to provide non-raster image standards for the Web.
Advantages of SVG format
SVG is a vector graphics format. SVG provides the functional advantages that GIF and JPEG cannot provide:
1. You can zoom in the image without sacrificing sharpness, clarity, and details.
2. The text state retains the editable and searchable text in the SVG image. There is no font limit, and users will see exactly the same picture as they made.
3. On average, small files are much smaller than those in JPEG and GIF formats, so they are quickly downloaded.
4. Display the independent SVG image on the screen is always clear on the edge, and can be printed using the resolution of your printer. Whether it's 300 dpi, 600 dpi, or higher, you will not experience the ugly, jagged dot matrix effect.
5. Super color control SVG provides a 16 million color palette that supports ICC color description
File, RGB, gradient, and mask.
6. Interaction and intelligence because SVG is based on XML, it provides unparalleled dynamic interaction. SVG images reflect and display users' actions through highlight display, tool tips, special effects, sounds, and animations.
