Can you name the main types of graphic image formats?

Main types of graphic image formats:

• Raster formats:

  • JPEG (JPG) — lossy compression, suitable for photographs.
  • PNG — lossless compression, supports transparency.
  • GIF — supports animation, limited to 256 colors.
  • BMP — simple uncompressed format.
  • TIFF — often used in printing, supports various compression types.

• Vector formats:

  • SVG — scalable vector graphics, used on the web.
  • EPS — format for printing and vector graphics.

The choice of format depends on the task: usually JPEG for photographs, PNG for images with transparency, GIF for animations, SVG for scalable graphics.
