There are now a lot of image formats. But not every format is suitable for every purpose. When publishing images or graphics on your website, you should definitely pay attention to the file size. If you upload particularly large image formats, this will reduce your website performance. In most cases, you are on the safe side with JPEG, PNG, and GIF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What image formats are there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Image formats are roughly divided into two categories: raster and vector formats. The biggest difference lies in the scaling of the image files. While raster files (also: pixel files) are represented by pixel points, vector graphics are composed of two-dimensional objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If pixel graphics are enlarged, the pixels are stretched, which leads to a loss of quality. Vector graphics, on the other hand, can be scaled without loss, which is why they are mainly used for logos and the creation of symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What image formats are used on the Internet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost every image format can be displayed on the Internet. The problem is therefore not necessarily one of compatibility, but rather one of compression. Image files that have a small storage capacity are particularly suitable for loading images on the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Files that are too large with extensions such as .tiff or .eps result in long loading times and thus negatively affect the performance of a website. The most commonly used files on the Internet are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
