| File extension | .WMF |

| Description | WMF is a vector graphics file format featuring bitmap components and running on 16-bit operating systems. Files comprise a set of function calls, which command vector graphic and bitmap operations, such as drawing lines and other graphic elements, as well as vector images and sometimes raster graphics. The format was introduced with Windows 2.0 in 1988 and is still backed by some Windows applications, such as Windows Photo Viewer. Right now, WMF is less widely used, as it has been pretty much supplanted by JPEG and GIF. |

| 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. |
