File Formats

What is File Formats?
A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file. It specifies how bits are used to encode information in a digital storage medium. File formats may be either proprietary or free and may be either unpublished or open.

There are as many different file formats as there are different programs to process the files:
-Word documents (.doc)Web text pages (.htm or .html)
-Web page images (.gif and .jpg)
-Adobe Postcript files (.ps)
-Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf)
-Executable programs (.exe)
-Multimedia files (.mp3 and others)
There are many different file formats in images, videos, music, and so on.



For images
For audio/ music

For videos

I learned the different file formats and what is the most useful compared to others.
