WEB GRAPHICS
Probably the most web friendly image format there is. It is great for images when you need to keep the size small, such as when you need to upload it online. If you don’t mind compromising the quality of the image a bit, use this.
JPEG
WEB GRAPHICS / ANIMATION / CLIP ART
Out of the three formats (GIF, JPEG & PNG) this is the worst choice for web graphics, although file sizes are very small, and they load very fast. Plus, if you want to add animation effects, use this. Also great for clip art.
GIF
PRINT GRAPHICS
is the best and only choice for professionals when images are intended for print. Its ability read CMYK and YcbCr color, plus its ability to store such high pixel intensity makes it the only choice for designers, photographers and publishers.
TIFF
WEB GRAPHICS / LOGOS & LINE ART
are great for web graphics. If you want to keep the size small, but still retain the image quality, use this. Also if you want to use transparencies, it is the best format for you
PNG
PRINT GRAPHICS
These files are large and uncompressed, but the images are rich in color, high in quality, simple and compatible in all Windows OS and programs. These files are also called raster or paint images
