*.PNG ('''Portable Network Graphic''') is a raster graphics image format used on websites and Web applications. It is a type of open and bitmapped graphical file format that is built on the concept of lossless data compression. It was created and conceived by the World Wide Web Consortium as a replacement to graphics interchange format (GIF). | *.PNG ('''Portable Network Graphic''') is a raster graphics image format used on websites and Web applications.

*.TIFF ('''Tagged Image File Format''') is a standard file format found in most paint, imaging, and desktop publishing programs and is a format native to the Microsoft Windows GUI. TIFF's extensible nature, allowing storage of multiple bitmap images of any pixel depth, makes it ideal for most image storage needs. | *.TIFF ('''Tagged Image File Format''') is a standard file format found in most paint, imaging, and desktop publishing programs and is a format native to the Microsoft Windows GUI.

*.RAW ('''Raw Image Format''') is an image file generated by digital cameras such as some Panasonic, Leica, and Casio cameras; contains uncompressed, raw image data; can be adjusted for exposure and white balance in software after saving the image to the computer; used for storing unaltered image data as captured by a digital camera's CCD. | *.RAW ('''Raw Image Format''') is an image file generated by digital cameras such as some Panasonic, Leica, and Casio cameras; contains uncompressed, raw image data; can be adjusted for exposure and white balance in software after saving the image to the computer; used for storing unaltered image data as captured by a digital camera's CCD.
