Image File Formats - TSV

Image file formats are standard formats for storing, displaying, and transferring digital image data on computers. Various formats exist depending on usage and characteristics, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG, WebP, and AVIF. Each has distinct features regarding compression methods, transparency, animation support, and color depth. Choosing the appropriate format is essential for purposes such as web display, printing, photo storage, and icon creation. In recent years, next-generation formats like WebP and AVIF, which offer high compression with high quality, are becoming increasingly popular.
