pixels are lost or discarded in storing the image.

lossy compression method.

popular file format for storing graphical images
with fewer colors. This file format supports 256
colors only.

GIF compression method uses lossless


compression techniques.

• Portable Network Graphics (PNG) – The
intention for the creation of this file format is to
be free and open source substitute for GIF.

This file format is expected to be fully compatible


with online applications.
This is a lossless compression method; thus, it is
also used in editing applications.
