PNG

Extension Compression Bit Depth Advantages Disadvantages
PNG is short for Portable Network Graphic "The PNG format uses lossless compression which means that this file type retains of all its original data when compressed." 8 and 16 bits per sample, corresponding to 24 and 48 bits per pixel. The benefits of using PNG images is that it is a lossless compression and it has transparency The cons of using PNG is that it is a very large file than other image files

JFIF

Extension Compression Bit Depth Advantages Disadvantages
JFIF is short for JPEG File Inter Change Format "a standardized format for storing JPEG-compressed images." 8-bit large-scale and 24-bit colour images. The benefits of using JFIF images is that JFIF allows JPEG bit streams to be exchanged between many different platforms and applications. JFIF files are generally smaller than other image formats. JFIF produces high-quality images The cons of using JFIF is that it has no transparency

GIF

Extension Compression Bit Depth Advantages Disadvantages
GIF is short for Graphics Interchange Format "the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). GIF is a raster file format that's commonly used for basic images, logos, and graphics with sharp lines and edges. " GIF files can support up to 8 bits per pixel and 256 indexed colours. They can also combine images or frames to create basic animations. The benefits of using GIFs is that it they convey a lot more emotion in pictures The cons of using GIFs are they have not a big colour pallet

PDF

Extension Compression Bit Depth Advantages Disadvantages
PDF is short for Portable Image Format "reduces the size of a PDF file while balancing the file's size with the quality of its contents." PDF files the file size of an image increases with bit depth because more color information is stored per pixel in an image having higher bit depth. The benefits of using PDFs is that they compress large files making them smaller and easier to store, transfer, and download. The cons of using PDFs are they are larger than the normal file

TIFF

Extension Compression Bit Depth Advantages Disadvantages
TIFF is short for Tag Image Format. It cannot be compressed. TIFF files have a bit depth of 8 or 16 bits. The benefits of using TIFFs are they have better resolution and quality. The cons of using TIFFs are they are bigger file sizes and they have slower loading speed.
