Choosing The Correct File Format For Your Icons.
There are numerous file formats that can be used for saving icons and for a newbie designer this can often change into a sizable problem because you will have to understand how to use a certain file format, given below is an explanation of the benefits and issues of some popular formats.If you are interested in icon making or want to create icons for your site, it is essential to find out more about the varied image formats and their traits so that you can make use of the appropriate file type for an icon. Among the most popular formats for pictures are GIF, JPEG and PNG, each one of these formats is known to have its own merits so lets discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using these file formats, the type of file that will live up to the requirements of your website and optimizing your web graphics for the web.
GIF: The full form is Graphics Interchange Format; this is one of the most commonly used file types. The popularity of this format can be attributed tiny image size which makes uploading less time consuming. Also like JPEG, information is not lost in this image format which means you will be able to save the graphic in a smaller size without deteriorating the image quality. The format is also known to support transparency in pictures, it is the most appropriate file formats for icon creation. Unlike the other image formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you would like to consider GIF image optimization, it is important to limit the file size; it would be best that you select a 32 color palette to get the least possible size.
JPEG: This stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the image format is usually called JPG and is frequently used on websites. One of the main benefits of utilizing this type of format is that you can store the graphics in true color that affords you an impressive range of 16 million colors; this makes the image type ideal for saving photos and graphics that include detailed color work. One of the problems of utilizing JPG is the data loss that will have to be tackled each time the picture is stored; this points to the fact that the graphic is susceptible to blurriness and many data may be lost. Unlike GIF, transparency support is not offered in this file format. If you are using an advanced image editing software such as the Adobe Photoshop, you can choose the quality and the file size but it is imperative to understand that a lower resolution will mean a small size, which is simple to upload.
PNG: Is short for Portable Network Graphics and is a fairly new file type. This format is offered in two versions types; PNG-8 which is the 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which has 24 color pictures. PNG-8 can curtail the size pictures with great detail and without the usual loss of data observed in the GIf format; this gives high picture quality and quick upload time. But, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you have to save photos and other illustrations that require a vaster color palette. The image format is loss-less; this means that the image holds on to its crispness and quality. PNG-24 offers transparency support and you can use varying degrees of the transparency feature in this format. With this type of file the images are professional looking because they do not have the tell tale jagged edges when pitched against a background with contrasting colors like GIF files.
