    The document discusses 10 different types of picture file extensions: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PSD, PDF, EPS, AI, INDD, and RAW. JPEGs are commonly used on the web but lose quality with compression. PNGs are good for web but low resolution. GIFs are often animated and limited to 256 colors. TIFFs maintain quality but are large files. PSDs contain layers and are made in Photoshop. PDFs capture information across devices. EPS is for high resolution print graphics. AIs are made in Illustrator and are preferred by designers. INDDs combine images for publications. RAW images are unprocessed camera files.

    Different Types Of

    Picture File Extension

    By : Group 1
    1. JPEG (or JPG) - Joint Photographic Experts Group

    • JPEGs might be the most common file type you run across on
    the web, and more than likely the kind of image that is in your
    company's MS Word version of its letterhead. JPEGs are known
    for their "lossy" compression, meaning that the quality of the
    image decreases as the file size decreases.
    2. PNG - Portable Network Graphics

    • PNGs are amazing for interactive documents such as web pages


    but are not suitable for print. While PNGs are "lossless,"
    meaning you can edit them and not lose quality, they are still
    low resolution.
    3. GIF - Graphics Interchange Format

    • GIFs are most common in their animated form, which are all the
    rage on Tumblr pages and in banner ads. It seems like every day
    we see pop culture GIF references from Giphy in the comments
    of social media posts. In their more basic form, GIFs are formed
    from up to 256 colors in the RGB colorspace. Due to the limited
    number of colors, the file size is drastically reduced.
    4. TIFF - Tagged Image File

    • A TIF is a large raster file that doesn't lose quality. This file
    type is known for using "lossless compression," meaning the
    original image data is maintained regardless of how often you
    might copy, re-save, or compress the original file.
    5. PSD - Photoshop Document

    • PSDs are files that are created and saved in Adobe Photoshop,
    the most popular graphics editing software ever. This type of
    file contains "layers" that make modifying the image much
    easier to handle. This is also the program that generates the
    raster file types mentioned above.
    6. PDF - Portable Document Format

    • PDFs were invented by Adobe with the goal of capturing and


    reviewing rich information from any application, on any
    computer, with anyone, anywhere. I'd say they've been pretty
    successful so far.
    7. EPS - Encapsulated Postscript

    • EPS is a file in vector format that has been designed to produce


    high-resolution graphics for print. Almost any kind of design
    software can create an EPS. The EPS extension is more of a
    universal file type (much like the PDF) that can be used to open
    vector-based artwork in any design editor, not just the more
    common Adobe products. This safeguards file transfers to
    designers that are not yet utilizing Adobe products, but may be
    using Corel Draw or Quark.
    8. AI - Adobe Illustrator Document

    • AI is, by far, the image format most preferred by designers and


    the most reliable type of file format for using images in all
    types of projects from web to print, etc. Adobe Illustrator is the
    industry standard for creating artwork from scratch and
    therefore more than likely the program in which your logo was
    originally rendered. Illustrator produces vector artwork, the
    easiest type of file to manipulate. It can also create all of the
    aforementioned file types. Pretty cool stuff! It is by far the best
    tool in any designer's arsenal.
    9. INDD - Adobe InDesign Document

    • INDDs (InDesign Document) are files that are created and saved
    in Adobe InDesign. InDesign is commonly used to create larger
    publications, such as newspapers, magazines and eBooks. Files
    from both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator can be combined in
    InDesign to produce content rich designs that feature advanced
    typography, embedded graphics, page content, formatting
    information and other sophisticated layout-related options.
    10. RAW - Raw Image Formats

    • A RAW image is the least-processed image type on this list -- it's often the
    first format a picture inherits when it's created. When you snap a photo
    with your camera, it's saved immediately in a raw file format. Only when
    you upload your media to a new device and edit it using image software is
    it saved using one of the image extensions explained above.
