There are many formats that can be used, such as [[JPEG]], [[PNG]], and [[GIF]]. Most formats up until 2022 were for storing 2D images, not 3D ones. The data stored in an image file format may be compressed or uncompressed. If the data is compressed, it may be done so using [[lossy compression]] or [[lossless compression]]. For graphic design applications, [[vector graphics\|vector]] formats are often used. Some image file formats support [[Transparency (graphic)\|transparency]].
