.bmp stands for Bit Map Picture. This is the standard bit-mapped graphics format used in the Windows environment. By convention, graphics files in the BMP format end with a.BMP extension. .gif stands for Graphical Interchange Format. This is pronounced jiff or giff (hard g). It is bit-mapped graphics file format used extensively on the World Wide Web. GIF supports color and various resolutions. It also includes data compression, but because it is limited to 256 colors, it is more effective for scanned images such as illustrations rather than color photos.
jpeg is smaller (followed by png, gif and a bmp-which is largest).
GIF are images that are moving, aminated. While JPEG images are still.
JPEG represents the color on 24bit (i.e. 2^24 colors).GIF only supports 2^8 colors = 256 colorsThe answer is JPEG.
The effect of the GIF,JPEG,PNG,BMP and TIFF on the data transfer
A GIF does the same as a JPEG just uses less space and can be used in different programs
Just open the jpeg image in photo shop and go to menus : file --> save for web and devices. A save for web and devices window will open, set its extension to gif then click on save button. It will save your jpeg image to gif image. Cheers
Animated JPEG are multiple single jpeg images that is runned under a javascript which runs the jpeg like a animated GIF, by frames of each images.
GIF is an indexed image. Meaning it can only have 256 colors. However .GIF can be animated and they can have a transparent background. .JPEG can not be animated and can not have transparent backgrounds. While .JPEG are full color, not limited to 256 colors (8-bit). So .GIF are used for animated images, and images with only a few colors. .GIF makes sharp, crisp images. .GIF images are used in web design. On the other hand .JPEG seem to blur the pixels together. But that is fine for photographs. So use .JPEG for photographs or artwork. Use .GIF for animations, transparent backgrounded images, and things that need crisp edges, like web design. somboy
Image file formats.
There are many formats such as jpeg,gif,png and (for favicons) ico. Jpeg format is the best
Jpeg, gif, tiff
You have to have it stored in your computer already and its has to be jpeg or gif or png.
