GIF Image (.gif) GIF is a compressed file format suitable for an image that will be used on the Web or on multiple platforms. JPEG Image (.jpg) JPEG is a compressed file format for images. Its strengths are small file sizes and speed. The tradeoff for these advantages, though, is reduced image quality. Since each time an image is compressed with JPEG it loses a little of the image data, avoid compressing a file with JPEG more than once. JPEG is an appropriate file format for an image that will be used on the Web or on multiple platforms. Text File (.txt) The Text File file format is used for saving to a .txt file when: s the selection area contains only text s the Text output type is applied s you want the text converted to editable, unformatted, ASCII text TIFF Image (.tif) TIFF is an industry-standard image file format. TIFF files are usually created by scanners and are widely accepted by programs that work with photographs and other images. A TIFF file is a  bitmapped graphic (also called a raster graphic) and can be any resolution. TIFF image files can be used on multiple platforms. TIFF Compressed (.tif) Compressed TIFF files for images are smaller than the TIFF Image files. Images with the Black & White Bitmap (raster) output type are compressed with PackBits compression.
