Where are bitmap images used?
Bitmap images are widely used on digital cameras, smartphones and online. Common bitmap image file types include JPEG , GIF and PNG .
What are bitmap images suitable for?
Bitmap formats are best for images that need to have a wide range of color gradations, such as most photographs. Examples of images that are well suited for the vector format include logos and type.
What are bitmap images examples?
Examples of bitmap graphic formats include GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, XBM, BMP, and PCX as well as bitmap (i.e., screen) fonts. The image displayed on a computer monitor is also a bitmap, as are the outputs of printers, scanners, and similar devices. They are created using paint programs like Adobe Photoshop.
What can a bitmap image be saved as?
For most purposes standardized compressed bitmap files such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and JPEG are used; lossless compression in particular provides the same information as a bitmap in a smaller file size. TIFF and JPEG have various options.
When would we used bitmap graphic?
One of the advantages of using bitmap images in your designs is that bitmap files can hold a lot of color information. This is especially useful when working with photographs or when you want to create images are look very real. This also gives you access to a wider range of colors for rich color transitions and more.
How is a bitmap image stored on a computer?
A bitmap is a method for storing images using pixels. This information is stored as a sequence of numbers defining the colour of each pixel. In a simple black and white image, a bitmap just needs to know if a pixel is ‘on’ or ‘off’, which can be stored as 1 or 0.
What are the advantages of bitmap and vector images?
Bitmap images can be resized, but you may sacrifice pixels in the process. In contrast, vector images can resize themselves without sacrificing image quality, making them more scalable in design.

How does a bitmap represent an image?
Bitmap images are made up of individual pixels. The colour of each pixel is represented as a binary number so the whole image is therefore stored as a series of binary numbers. In the example on the right the animation zooms into the small image to show the individual pixels.
