Digital File Formats Images Audio Video Text

Image File Formats The three most common formats for digital images are: TIFF JPEG GIF

Image Compression “Lossless” compression: you can compress TIFF files by as much as one-third without throwing away any needed information. Even so, they are still much too big for a typical website. JPEGs, which use a “lossy” compression algorithm (meaning that they throw away information—albeit much of it information that the human eye doesn’t notice), are significantly smaller.
