What's the difference between BMP, JPG, GIF, PSD and TIF?

Windows bitmaps can store a single raster image of any color depth (from black and white to 24-bit color). Windows bitmap file format is compatible with other Microsoft Windows programs.

Pcx: computer brush

PC brush pictures (also known as Z-Soft bitmaps) store a single raster image at any color depth.

PNG: portable network graphics

PNG pictures store a single raster image at any color depth. PNG is a platform-independent format.

JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group

JPEG pictures store a single raster image in 24-bit color.

GIF: graphic interchange format

GIF pictures store single raster image data or multiple raster image data in 8-bit colors or 256 colors. GIF pictures support transparent, compressed, interlaced and multi-image pictures (animated GIF).

TIFF: tag image file format

TIFF stores a single raster image at any color depth. TIFF can be considered as the most widely supported graphic file format in the printing industry.

DXF:AutoCAD graphics interchange file DXF is a vector-based ASCII format used by Autodesk AutoCAD programs. AutoCAD can provide very detailed and fully extensible charts.

WMF: window metafile

Windows metafile is a 16-bit Tu Tu metafile format, which can contain vector information and bitmap information. It is optimized for the Windows operating system.

EMF: enhanced metafile

Enhanced metafile is a 32-bit format, which can contain vector information and bitmap information. This format is an improvement of "Windows metafile format", which includes some extended functions, such as built-in scaling information, built-in description palette saved with the file and improved EMF format in terms of device independence. It is an extensible format, which means that programmers can modify the original specification to add functions or meet specific requirements.

PICT: Macintosh pictures

PICT file is a 32-bit bitmap metafile format for Macintosh computers. PICT file uses RLE internal compression, and the effect is quite good.

EPS: encapsulated PostScript

"Encapsulated PostScript" format is a special printer description language, which can describe vector information and bitmap information.

CDR:CorelDRAW！ CorelDRAW！ Metafiles can contain vector information and bitmap information.

Computer graphics metafile

CGM metafile can contain vector information and bitmap information. It is an international standardized file format used by many organizations and government agencies, including British Standards Institute (BSI), American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and US Department of Defense.
