Image File Formats

Bitmap

jpg: A digital picture file format is called JPEG. It is a compressed file format, therefore depending on the level of compression used when converting an uncompressed and/or lossless format into a JPG picture, there may be a slight (or significant) quality loss overall.

png: A raster image file format, PNG stands for Portable Network Graphic. Its ability to handle visuals with translucent or semi-transparent backgrounds makes it a particularly popular file format among web designers.

gif: Graphics Interchange Format is referred to as GIF. GIF is a raster file format made for simple graphics that are mostly found online. Each file may support 256 indexed colors and up to 8 bits per pixel. Additionally, rudimentary animations may be made with GIF files by combining pictures or frames.

bmp: Device Independent Bitmap (or DIB), sometimes known as a BMP file (pronounced bump), is a technique used to retain the resolution of digital images on a variety of displays and devices.

psd: A native picture file format for the well-known Photoshop program from Adobe. Multiple picture layers and a variety of imaging settings are supported in this image editing-friendly format. High grade graphics data are frequently stored in PSD files.

tiff: Computer files called TIFFs, which stand for Tag Image File Format, are used to store raster graphics and image data.

heic: In order to compress and save pictures across your devices, a HEIC file employs High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC).

psb: The PSD file and the PSB (Adobe Photoshop Large Document Format) file format are almost identical, although the PSB file format supports much larger file sizes. 

camera raw: A RAW file records the raw data from your camera's sensor since it is lossless. A RAW file, which is often referred to as a digital negative, can be thought of as the unprocessed "ingredients" of a photograph that must be further enhanced to realize its full potential.
