There are some major differences between JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs, and other image file types.
- RAW files contain all the information captured by the camera and are great for editing, but they take up a lot of space.
- JPEG is a common image format, but it uses lossy compression which can result in quality loss.
- GIF is best for simple graphics and animations with a limited color palette, such as logos and icons with flat color areas.
- PNG is good for preserving image details and works well with overlays and transparent backgrounds.
- TIFF files are renowned for their versatility, high image quality, and lossless compression, making them great for printing.
- SVG files operate on vector principles, making them infinitely scalable and suitable for graphic designers and illustrators.
