  • The quality of bmp images is very good
  • Eg:computer wallpapers,the documents saved in paintbrush are BMP images.

b)TIFF:

  • TIFF is the wellknown format developed in 1986.
  • Its many versions are standard image for a bit-mapped graphics image.
  • TIFF is data compression technique for monochrome as well as colour images.
  • The usually occupy less space.

c)JPEG:

  • JPEG images are compressed image which occupy very little space.
  • It is based on DCT.
