Pildivormingud

Pildivormingud refer to image file formats, which are standardized ways of encoding and storing digital images. These formats determine how image data is organized, compressed, and interpreted, affecting file size, image quality, and compatibility with different software and devices. Common pildivormingud include JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression format widely used for photographs due to its ability to significantly reduce file size with minimal perceived loss of quality. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless format that supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, logos, and images requiring sharp edges. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is also a lossless format, known for its support of animation and a limited color palette, often used for simple animations and web banners.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible format that can be either lossless or lossy and supports high color depth, making it popular in professional photography and printing. BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed, lossless format that typically results in large file sizes, commonly used in Windows environments. The choice of pildivorming depends on the intended use of the image, balancing factors like image quality, file size, and the need for features such as transparency or animation.
