 ONLINE DIGITAL FILE FORMATS FOR
IMAGES AND TEXT
A computer will have a certain method of encoding
information to storage in the hard drive or any form
of computer storage.
PROPRIETORY FORMATS
-Are owned and controlled by individuals or
corporations and the file format specifications are not
available to the public.
OPEN FORMATS
-Are means and ways for storing digital information that
are free, can be used by the public and are not
encumbered by copyrights or patents
FILENAME EXTENSION
- File Format users suffixes that are added to the end
of a filename.
 DIGITAL FILE FORMATS ARE CLASSIFIED
INTO THREE MAJOR GROUPS

1.Umcompressed or raw format

-Is usually used for storing original file format, it is a
flexible form but needs bigger memory to store.
2.Lossless file format
-Is a file format that was compressed to replicate the
original quality but a reduced file size
3. Lossy file format
-compressed using approximation of its size .
 IMAGE FILE FORMATS
- are means of storing and storing digital images , photos
and illustrations.

These are two types classified of Image File

Format:

 Raster image File

 Vector Image File

 A. Raster Image File
A. Raster Image File
- Is a mean of representing digital images bits of
information for storage, which translates into pixels when
viewed on the screen. Majority of raster files are lossy.

B. Pixels
- Is the smallest information of an image. Image using
pixels are usually represented on dots or squares that are
arranged and added together to form the picture.
- The word PIXEL comes from the word picture (pix) and
element (el).
Raster Image Files
- is a common formats you will encounter in the internet
and with many digital image files, such as those coming
from digital cameras. The raster image are stored as bit
maps.

Examples:
JPEG
GIF
PNG files
The most common types of raster image files
