SWF
The Macromedia® Flash™ (SWF) file format is a vector-based graphics file format for the creation of scalable, compact
graphics for the web. Since the file format is vector-based, the artwork maintains its image quality at any resolution
and is ideal for the creation of animation frames. (See "Setting optimization options for SVG and SWF files" on
page 382.)
SVG
SVG is a vector format that describes images as shapes, paths, text, and filter effects. The resulting files are compact
and provide high-quality graphics on the web, in print, and even on resource-constrained, handheld devices. (See
"Setting optimization options for SVG and SWF files" on page 382.)
WBMP
WBMP format is the standard format for optimizing images for mobile devices, such as cell phones. WBMP supports
1-bit color, which means that WBMP images contain only black and white pixels. (See "Optimization options for
WBMP format" on page 374.)

discarded. You can often apply a Lossy value of 5–10, and sometimes up to 50, without degrading the image. File size
can often be reduced 5%–40% using the Lossy option.
Note: You cannot use the Lossy option with the Interlaced option or with Noise or Pattern Dither algorithms.
