About Graphic File Formats
Graphics file formats are not created equal. Knowing which one to use and how to use it is the key to presenting pleasing images efficiently.
Terms to Know:
- Graphics: Refers to any computer device or program that makes a computer capable of displaying and manipulating pictures. The term also refers to the images themselves.
- File Format: Format for encoding information in a file. Each different type of file has a different file format.
Raster Image Files
Raster images are constructed by a series of pixels, or individual blocks, to form an image. JPEG, GIF, and PNG are all raster image extensions. In order to retain pixel quality, you cannot resize raster images without compromising their resolution. As a result, it is important to remember to save raster files at the exact dimensions needed for the application.
Vector Image Files
Vector images are far more flexible. They are constructed using proportional formulas rather than pixels. EPS, AI and PDF are perfect for creating graphics that require frequent resizing.
