| Description | DIB (device independent bitmap) files contain raster data – a color table and image resolution information. They can be rendered in nearly all popular editing utilities. Mainly, the format ensures easy transfer and exchange of image elements no matter what kind of device you use, since pixel layout in these files may not correlate with the layout of your device. Data contained in DIB files describe colors that are used in images, values reflecting color characteristics, images’ physical size, compression pattern, text, etc. DIB is one of the extensions used in the BMP format. |

| Description | Designed by CompuServe even before JPG GIF file format displays indexed-color graphics. It is a simple illustration with maximum 256 colors. That is why it is great for the web, logos and icons also are saved in GIF format. There is one more reason for that: GIF preserves transparence. You can put an icon or a logo above another image, and the borders of the first one won’t be seen. Above all GIF supports animation, which is a widely spread technique among the designers. |
