= Image format support =

Image file formats are standardized means of organizing and storing digital images. Image files are composed of digital data in one of

several formats. Some formats of image files may be preferred by website designers for smaller file size and higher image quality.

Here are the most popular formats of image files and the table below makes a comparison about whether the software for website design

can display the file format on the web page.
