SVG (Image)
File extension | .svg |
Category | Image File |
Description | Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are XML based vector image format for 2d graphics that support interactivity and animation. SVG images and the behaviour of them are defined in XML text files. SVG files can be edited with any text editor as essentially they are just XML files. All modern web browsers support SVG files and can render their markup. |

Technical Details | SVG is used to define vector-based graphics for the Web and defines the graphics in XML format. These files do not lose quality when they are zoomed or resized. Every element and attribute within the SVG file can be animated. SVG files come with a W3C recommendation and integrates with other W3C standards such as the DOM and XSL. |

GIF (Image)
File extension | .gif |
Category | Image File |
Description | The GIF file format is a type of bitmap image and has become popular due to the growth of the internet. This file format supports up to 8 bits per pixel therefore giving an image the ability to contain 256 distinct colours chosen from the 24-bit RGB colour space. It also supports animations and whenever you see a logo or other sharp edged line art then you are probably dealing with the GIF format. It uses the lossless data compression technique which reduces the file size without any impact on the quality. |

Technical Details | The GIF file format was invented by Compuserve for their online service, but they made the specifications publicly available. GIFs are able to hold multiple bitmaps of up to 256 colors each, using LZW (Lempel Zev Welch - a simple form of file compression that removes inefficiencies in the data storage without losing data or distorting the image) compressed raster data to minimize file sizes. The idea is to lessen the amount of colours in a GIF image to the minimum number necessary and to therefore remove stray colors that are not required to represent the image. A GIF graphic is unable to have more than 256 colors but it can have fewer colors, down to the minimum of two (black and white). Images with fewer colors will compress more efficiently under LZW compression. |
