Failivormingutele

Failivormingutele refers to the term "file formats" in Estonian. File formats are standardized ways of organizing and encoding data for storage in a computer file. They dictate how information is structured, allowing software applications to interpret and process the data correctly. Different file formats are designed for different types of data, such as text, images, audio, video, or executable programs.

Common examples of file formats include .txt for plain text, .jpg and .png for images, .mp3 for audio, and .mp4 for video. Software applications often have specific file format requirements or can handle a variety of formats. The choice of file format can impact file size, compatibility with different devices and software, and the quality of the data. Understanding file formats is crucial for managing digital information effectively, ensuring that data can be accessed, shared, and manipulated as intended. When a file is created or saved, it is assigned a specific format, which is typically indicated by a file extension, such as ".docx" for a Microsoft Word document or ".pdf" for a portable document format.
