13860209746 | .bmp | (bitmap image file or bitmap) is a raster graphics image file format used to store digital images. (not compressed) | ![]() | 7 |
13860209747 | .gif | (acronym for Graphics Interchange Format) a bitmap image format which uses the LZW lossless data compression technique to reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. Supports 8 bits per pixel for each image and animations. | ![]() | 8 |
