BMP

226 KB

Microsoft® Windows® Bitmap. A graphics format defined by Microsoft

 

 

supporting 1, 4, 8 or 18-bit colour depth. No compression, so files can be very

 

 

large. Used for icons and very small images.

 

 

 

GIF

42 KB

Graphics Interchange Format. Highly compressed by limiting the colour palette

JPEG

13 KB

An image compression format managed by the Joint Photographic Experts

quality/file-size balances to be provided in one standard. JPG files support

 

 

millions of colours and are therefore good for 'real life' photographs.

 

 

 

MBM

 

Multi Bitmap. This is a Symbian OS format for colour and greyscale bitmap

 

 

images.
