| File extension | .png |
|---|---|
| File category | Raster image file |
| Stands for | Portable Network Graphics |
| Developer | PNG development Group(Donated to World wide web Consortium/ W3C) |
| Overview | These files are commonly termed as ‘ping' and they store the raster files using lossless compression. It came into existence in order to replace the GIF file format as they both have the ability to show transparent backgrounds. Furthermore, it was an enhanced and improved version of Graphics Interchange format. It supports different types of photos. The first one is palette-based photographs that can either have palettes of 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA colours. Second is grayscale images which may or may not have an alpha channel for transparency. Lastly, there is a full-colour non-palette which is based on RGB/RGBA pictures. There is one limitation of this type. It does not support animation like GIF. Besides this, it is non-patented which means there are no copyright limitations. |
| Technical description | The expanded features like 8- bit channel for transparency and 24- bit RGB support make PNG more popular. The files stores in this format allow the fading of colours from opaque to transparent which is not present in the preceding format. CMYK does not offer support to this extension as it was developed for transferring of files over the internet, not for professional-quality print graphics. It stores information like textual comments, integrity checks and encoded basic pixels in its extensible structure of chunks. It always starts with an 8-byte signature followed by a series of chunks. A chunk furthermore comprises of four parts- length (4 bytes), chunk type (4 bytes), chunk data (length bytes) and CRC- Cyclic redundancy checksum or code (4 bytes). |

| File extension | .svg |

| File category | Vector Image File |
| Stands for | Scalable Vector Graphics |
| Developer | World Wide Web Consortium |
| Overview | This extension is based on an extensible Markup Language (XML) and images stored in this format are two dimensional as well as vector graphics. It is an open standard format but it supports both interactivity and animation. These files can be searched, indexed, scripted and compressed because their behaviour is specified by XML text files. Editing can be done using a text editor or any drawing software. All popular web browsers provide rendering support to SVG. The major difference between the bitmap image or raster image and vector image is that the former one is made up of a fixed set of pixels whereas the latter one consists of a fixed set of shapes. Scaling in raster reveals the pixels in it and in vector it tells about the shapes. |
| Technical description | It follows lossless data compression as it contains numerous repeated fragments of text. SVGZ image is a compressed form of SVG, when it is compressed using GZIP algorithm. In 2011 there was mobile version 1.1, which minimized the computational and display capacities. As these files use text to describe the graphics that is why it is very easy to resize them to different sizes(Zooming and Diminishing) without loss of quality. Besides this, they have the capability to store rich graphics and also offers compatibility to CSS(Cascading style sheets) for styling which in return allows a higher level of presentation editing. In addition to this, JavaScript is used for scripting. Lastly, it has three types of graphic objects – vector graphic shapes (paths and outlines), bitmap images and text. |
