Graphics file format

Have you ever drawn a picture and wanted to keep it safe or share it with friends? Well, that is what graphics file format does. It helps to save a picture into a special kind of file that computers can read and also helps to keep the picture looking good even when it's being shared or transferred from one computer to another.

When a picture is drawn, it's made up of lots of tiny dots called pixels. Graphics file format helps to store these dots of color in a particular way so that they can be easily opened and seen on different computers.

There are different types of graphics file format such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, etc. Each format has its own rules for how the colors are stored and how the picture is compressed or made smaller in size.

For example, JPEG is a common graphics file format that works well for photographs but can't be used for pictures with clear lines or text. PNG, on the other hand, is good for images with sharp lines and text but may not work as well for photographs.

When you save a picture in a graphics file format, it makes sure that the picture is saved in a way that it can be seen and edited later without losing quality. It's like putting the picture into a special box that keeps it safe and easy to share with others.

So, graphics file format is like a special language that computers use to understand and display pictures. It helps to keep the picture looking good and makes it easy to share with others.
