They are file format for graphic. Each has different ways of handling, compression, transparency and scaling.
tif = tagged image format
jpeg = join photographic expert group
gif = graphic interchange format
For Vector it's .png .tif/.tiff .gif For Bitmap it's .bmp .jpg/.jpeg .gif
jpeg is smaller (followed by png, gif and a bmp-which is largest).
TIF is generally considered a better file format than JPEG for preserving image quality because TIF files are uncompressed and do not lose image data, while JPEG files are compressed and can result in some loss of quality.
As long as the images in the slide-show are one of the following formats:.bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .wmf
As long as the graphic file format is compatible with Windows Movie Maker:.bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .wmf
JPEG represents the color on 24bit (i.e. 2^24 colors).GIF only supports 2^8 colors = 256 colorsThe answer is JPEG.
Text files have to be image files compatible with Windows Movie Maker:.bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .wmf
The effect of the GIF,JPEG,PNG,BMP and TIFF on the data transfer
Animations are technically 'picture' files. So, your animation would have to be in one of the Picture Formats compatible with Windows Movie Maker:.bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .wmf.GIFs are general animation formats used in the program.
The main difference between TIF and JPEG file formats is that TIF is a lossless format, meaning it retains all image data, while JPEG is a lossy format, which compresses image data and may result in some loss of quality. TIF is better for preserving image quality, especially for professional or archival purposes, while JPEG is more commonly used for web and general purposes due to its smaller file size.
Tif , jpg , png & gif
A GIF does the same as a JPEG just uses less space and can be used in different programs
