File formats

The following table lists some common image file formats. Select a format supported by your image
processing application when you save image files.
Format (File extension)
BMP format (*.BMP)
(Windows only)
TIFF format (*.TIF)
JPEG format (*.JPG)
Explanation
BMP is a standard image file format in Windows. Most
Windows applications including word processor
applications can read images in this format.
TIFF is a file format which is designed for data exchange
between applications such as graphics software and DTP
software.
JPEG is a compressed file format, which allows a choice in
compression quality. However, if the compression is too
high, the image quality deteriorates. The image quality also
deteriorates every time the image file is saved in JPEG. If
you edit an image file after saving it, the original image
should be preserved in a file format other than JPEG.
