.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.

What advantage does the gif file format have over the JPEG format?

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
