Online Image File
Format
Unlike images that are found in our
computer, you have to consider that
website images should be more
compressed because data travels over
the internet and not everyone has a
fast internet connection.
Reporter: Vince
Ferrer
Common Image File Formats:
•Joint Photographics Experts Group (JPEG) -is a widely used
web image format, employing lossy compression to reduce file
sizes while retaining acceptable image quality, ideal for
photographs and intricate images.
Common Image File Formats:
2. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) -a versatile image format,
supports lossless compression and transparency, making it
suitable for sharp-edged images, text, and solid colors, albeit at
larger file sizes compared to JPEG.
Common Image File Formats:
3. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) -known for its support of
animations and simple graphics, utilizes lossless compression and
transparency, rendering it suitable for short animations, logos, and
graphics with limited colors.
Uses of these 3 common image file formats:
•Joint Photographics Experts (JPEG) -Real-life photographs,
high compression
•JPEG DOES NOTsupport transparency and animation.
2. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) -Screenshots, high
compatibility
•PNGDOESsupport transparency but NOTanimation.
Uses of these 3 common image file formats:
3. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) -Computer-generated
graphics
•GIF DOESsupport transparency and animation.
Principles and Basic Techniques
of Image Manipulation
IWhen managing our personal websites, it
becomes essential to edit images to strike
a balance between image quality and
loading time. Unlike Facebook, personal
websites may not require downsizing
image file sizes, but it becomes crucial
when targeting a broader audience.
Consider the following tips for editing
website images.
Reporter: Joyce Sto.
Domingo
•Choose the right file format.
--Try to make a real-life photograph into GIF to
see the difference between PNG and JPEG.
Knowing the purpose is the key to finding out
the best file format.
2. Choose the right Image size
•A camera with a higher megapixel count produces larger
image sizes. However, monitors have resolution limits, so
having a high number of megapixels doesn't necessarily
display everything. Therefore, it's not always advisable to
have large images on a website. It's important to determine
how much space you want the image to take up.
Alternatively, you can provide a "preview" image with the
option for the audience to view the full size.
3. Caption it
•-remember to put a caption on images
whenever possible. If its not related to
the web page, then remove it.
