As JPG images are small in file size without losing much overall quality, they are perfect for posting photos and images online. Point of sale printing can also use them to email preview images to clients or to print high-resolution artwork.

In particular, PNG images would be ideal for logos, illustrations, and graphs on the web. Besides shrinking to a small file size, they also support limited colors and elements. An advantage of a PNG is its transparency, which allows illustrations and designs to be placed over backgrounds easily. Images which will be edited and saved repeatedly should also be saved as PNG files.

A PDF image is ideal for printing, especially for graphic design, posters, and flyers. When you intend to download images online, PDF images are also a great choice. With PDFs, you can easily print and save designs and booklets because your images are combined into one file.

Printing is ideal for TIFF images, especially for photography, magazines, booklets, and other multipage designs. The fact that they can retain high-quality image information makes them an extremely useful file extension.
