Which raster image format is best used for webpages but is not suitable for print?
A
TIFF
B
PNG
C
EPS
D
BMP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -GIF is the only animated image format supported in all major web browsers and most image editors. GIFs support transparency and animation and can be highly compressed to reduce file size. GIF is a lossless raster format that’s best used for animated graphics where few colors are needed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Portable Network Graphics (PNGs) are just as popular as JPEGs for display on websites. They also support millions of colors, although you’re much better off using PNGs for images that contain less color data. Otherwise, your image is going to be ‘heavier’ than the same image saved as a JPEG.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the difference between TIFF and PNG files? Both PNGs and TIFFs are excellent choices for displaying complex images. But PNGs tend to be smaller in size, so are potentially better suited for websites. TIFFs, on the other hand, are often the best choice for professional use, scanning, and print options.

Detailed explanation-4: -Don’t use a PNG when… If you’re working with photos on the web, go with JPEG. You’re dealing with a print project. PNG graphics are optimized for the screen. You can definitely print a PNG, but you’d be better off with a JPEG (lossy) or TIFF file.

Detailed explanation-5: -If you want a fast loading compressed image, choose a JPG format. If you are looking for a high quality, clear image, choose a PNG. What kind of file type should I use for my website logo? PNGs support transparency, and it is the best option for website logos that need to appear on various color backgrounds.
