Images can be compressed in various ways, however. A compression <a href="/wiki/Algorithm" title="Algorithm">algorithm</a> stores either an exact representation or an approximation of the original image in a smaller number of bytes that can be expanded back to its uncompressed form with a corresponding decompression algorithm. Images with the same number of pixels and color depth can have very different compressed file size. Considering exactly the same compression, number of pixels, and color depth for two images, different graphical complexity of the original images may also result in very different file sizes after compression due to the nature of compression algorithms. With some compression formats, images that are less complex may result in smaller compressed file sizes. This characteristic sometimes results in a smaller file size for some lossless formats than lossy formats. For example, graphically simple images (i.e. images with large continuous regions like line art or animation sequences) may be losslessly compressed into a GIF or PNG format and result in a smaller file size than a lossy JPEG format. </p><p>For example, a 640<span class="nowrap"> × </span>480 pixel image with 24-bit color would occupy almost a megabyte of space: </p> <dl><dd>640<span class="nowrap"> × </span>480<span class="nowrap"> × </span>24 = 7,372,800 bits = 921,600 bytes = 900 <a href="/wiki/KiB" class="mw-redirect" title="KiB">KiB</a></dd></dl> <p>With vector images, the file size increases only with the addition of more vectors. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Image_file_compression">Image file compression</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Image_file_format&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Image file compression"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are two types of <b><a href="/wiki/Image_file_compression" class="mw-redirect" title="Image file compression">image file compression</a></b> algorithms: <a href="/wiki/Lossless_data_compression" class="mw-redirect" title="Lossless data compression">lossless</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lossy_compression" title="Lossy compression">lossy</a>. </p><p><b>Lossless compression</b> algorithms reduce file size while preserving a perfect copy of the original uncompressed image.

The PNG, JPEG, and GIF formats are most often used to display images on the Internet. Some of these graphic formats are listed and briefly described below, separated into the two main families of graphics: raster and vector. Raster images are further divided into formats primarily aimed at (web) delivery (i.e. supporting relatively strong compression) versus formats primarily aimed at authoring or interchange (uncompressed or only relatively weak compression). </p><p>In addition to straight image formats, <b><a href="/wiki/Metafile" class="mw-redirect" title="Metafile">Metafile</a></b> formats are portable formats which can include both raster and vector information. Examples are application-independent formats such as <a href="/wiki/Windows_Metafile" title="Windows Metafile">WMF</a> and <a href="/wiki/Enhanced_Metafile" class="mw-redirect" title="Enhanced Metafile">EMF</a>. The metafile format is an intermediate format. Most applications open metafiles and then save them in their own native format. <b><a href="/wiki/Page_description_language" title="Page description language">Page description language</a></b> refers to formats used to describe the layout of a printed page containing text, objects and images.

Nearly every digital camera can save images in the JPEG format, which supports eight-bit grayscale images and 24-bit color images (eight bits each for red, green, and blue). JPEG applies lossy compression to images, which can result in a significant reduction of the file size. Applications can determine the degree of compression to apply, and the amount of compression affects the visual quality of the result.
