There are so many different kinds of image formats available. JPEG, GIF, and PNG are representatives on the Internet, although EPS or TIFF files are commonly required when submitting an article to medical journals.
Basically, every format is usable but I want you to know the differences between JPEG, GIF, and PNG. The knowledge will help you with creating your homepage. Let me share my understanding of these three formats with the readers of my blogs.
First, JPEG has a good balance of image quality and file size. Unless your image requires specific functions, the choice of JPEG will not go wrong.
Second, GIF is characteristic of movie, because one GIF file is able to contain more than one image inside. Movie GIFs, which have a function of animation, are recognized as a image file by computers.
Finally, PNG is useful in some situations because it has no background color. It means that a PNG file may be suitable to every website regardless of what color is used.
