JPG: file extension for graphic files. The JPEG file extension is used interchangeably with JPG. JPEG stands for joint photographic experts group who created the standard. The JPEG standard defines how an image is compressed.
RAW: a raw file is the image as seen by the camera's sensor. Think of it like unprocessed film. Rather that letting the camera process the image for you, turning it into a JPEG image, shooting in raw allows you to process the image to your liking.
PNG:(portable network graphics) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.PNG files were developed to build upon the purpose of gifs. Also to develop the ability to incorporate low resolution images that load quickly but also look great. PNG files do not support animation.They are large files and they do not lose quality when edited.
BMP: also known as a bitmap image file or device independent bitmap (DIB) file format, is a raster graphics image file format used to store digital images. The format is capable of storing two dimensional digital images of width, height and resolution, both monochrome and color and optionally with data compression.
GIF: GIF images are great for creating very low resolution files for your website. Gifs are usually used for logos, icons or symbols. Gifs are limited to 256 colors which is why it is not recommended for photos. Gifs support animation and are also compressed which gives them a small file size.
TIFF: is a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry, and both amateur and professional photographers in general.
