Overview
An EPS file format is used for vector images in which points on a Cartesian plane are joined by lines and curves to form different shapes especially polygons. The added advantage to vector graphics is that they can be scaled up and down to any resolution. Emblems, figures, drawings, logos and other artworks can be saved using this format. Furthermore, it may have 2-dimensional vector graphics, text and bitmap images. As well as, a low-resolution image preview within the text document can be sent or received by an individual in it. One can also transfer the image between two or more operating systems, which makes it compatible format and that is why it is widely used by publishers. It is a standard format for storing both images and drawings within a postscript document.
Technical description
An EPS file has a Bounding Box DSC comment(the smallest enclosing box for a point set in infinite dimensions) which describes the rectangle that contains an image. This information can be used by the applications to configure or layout the page, even though they are not capable of directly rendering the Postscript inside. Resizing, editing and manipulation of the image can be done using different software like Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator and there will be no effect on the quality. There are at least two necessary document structuring conventions(DSC) header comments and this adapts to Version 3.0 as well as to bounding box comment( it tells about the size of an image). There can be optional DSC comments. For instance, the %%Begin(End)Preview and it denotes the bitmap preview section.

Overview
BMP format is used for Raster images. These images contain a grid of pixels and each pixel further depicts an individual colour within the image. In this, there can be varying levels of colour depths per pixel, as this criterion is entirely based on the file header which tells about the number of bits per pixel. The images stored is often uncompressed when they are 16 bpp and 32bpp. It is capable of storing only 2-dimensional images( both monochrome-single colour and colourful, with numerous colour depths). A user does not require a graphics adapter to view this file. It is not a popular format these days as it takes lots of time to upload, send and download, due to its large size.
Technical description
BMP file format comes up with the option of data compression, colour profiles and alpha channels. Alpha composting results in partial or fully transparent images which are done by incorporating or mixing one image with a background. Exchanging bitmaps between devices and applications is possible due to a unique representation of colour bitmaps of distinct colour depths, defined by Microsoft. That is why it is termed as a device-independent bitmap file format(DIBs). Additionally, it has both fixed-size and variable-sized structures. This format follows structures in the order given ahead- bitmap file header(stores general information), DIB header(Contains detailed information including pixel format), Extra bitmasks(Define pixel format), colour table( define colours used), Gap 1(Structure alignment), a Pixel array(Actual values of a pixel), Gap 2(Structure alignment)and ICC colour profile(Colour management).
