The two main graphics formats that Web browsers can read are GIF and JPEG. Each is suitable for different types of images, so it's important to know which one to choose. There are also several variations of GIFs and JPEGs that you can use to create other effects, such as animation.

Once you understand the difference between GIF and JPEG images, you'll want to determine the size and color of the graphics you're putting on your Web page. You'll also need to learn which type of software you can use to make GIFs and JPEGs--and what you need to know about these applications.
