What's the deal with all these different graphic formats? BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, SVG, WMF...?
FAQ - Open Clip Art Library WikiThese formats can be broken up into two major categories: raster, and vector. This project uses the vector format, but we will describe raster first. Popular raster formats include GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. In these formats, each pixel in the image is represented by a specific bit of data in the file. Storing each pixel of a large image creates a huge file! Many formats try to get around this by compressing the data so that each bit of data can represent several pixels.
