RAW is not a standardized format, in fact, RAW-formats even differ between camera models from the same vendor [citation needed]. Data in a RAW-file is structured according to the Bayer filter's pattern in cameras that use a single image sensor. Debayering, the process of obtaining bitmap data from a RAW-image is always a lossy operation.
When converting an image from the PNG format to GIF, the image quality may suffer due to posterization if the PNG image has more than 256 colors. GIF intrinsically supports animated images. PNG supports animation only via unofficial extensions (see the section on animation, above). PNG images are less widely supported by older browsers.

Programs to analyze and write to this format are easily ...
The High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) is an image container format that was standardized by MPEG on the basis of the ISO base media file format. While HEIF can be used with any image compression format, the HEIF standard specifies the storage of HEVC intra-coded images and HEVC-coded image sequences taking advantage of inter-picture ...
An image conversion program does not convert a PCX image to PNG directly; instead, when loading the PCX image, it decodes it to a simple bitmap format for internal use in memory, and when commanded to convert to PNG, that memory image is converted to the target format. An audio converter that converts from FLAC to AAC decodes the source file to ...
PICT, PCT – Apple Macintosh PICT image; PNG – Portable Network Graphic (lossless, recommended for display and edition of graphic images) PNJ – a sub-format of the MNG file format, used for encapsulating JPEG files [15] PNM – Portable anymap graphic bitmap image; PNS – PNG Stereo; PPM – Portable Pixmap (Pixel Map) image
Filesize reduction factor 100 or so when converting to png is typical if the image is a line drawing; if the image is a photo, it is best converted to jpeg, which yields a greater filesize reduction. The PPM format is generally an intermediate format used for image work before converting to a more efficient format, for example the PNG format ...
JPEG for photographic images. GIF for animated images. PNG for everything else. While some formats offer multiple compression systems, in general the format and the compression system are tied together. Other image formats should be avoided in most cases: BMP - Images are uncompressed, resulting in larger file sizes. Should usually be converted ...
