Welcome to the Image Formats Lab
This laboratory demonstrates different types of web images, such as PNG, JPG, and GIF. Each of the types has a different function in digital design: PNG allows for transparency and lossless data compression and is therefore suitable for logos and icons; JPG is suitable for photos as it compresses efficiently; and GIF provides for basic animations and is employed for web graphics and memes. Looking at these types helps to provide students with real-world understanding of how the type of an image influences picture quality, file size, and user experience.
