SemperFi86 is right.
Both JPG and GIF are bitmap-based, meaning each pixel of the image is specifically plotted to be at a given point, with a given hue, saturation and brightness.
Others have confused the Microsoft bitmap image format for the generic term "bitmap," which means an image that has its pixels plotted to a specific location and HSB.
Also, the JPG and GIF formats are not patented. JPGs have never been patented; the specification comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group (thus, JPEG or JPG), and it isn't a specific technology, it's an algorithm that is open to public use by charter.
The GIF compression algorithm was once patented but the patent has since expired.

JPG, GIF, and PNG are the main image formats used on webpages.
These image formats all store Bitmap images. The people who said bitmaps arent used are referring to the BMP file format which is also a bitmap but not commonly used due to it's large file size.
All three of these file types are bitmap images. That is the images are all stored as a grid of pixels or a bit map. The difference between the file formats is how the data is stored with regards to compression and color depth.
The non bitmap file type used on the web is SVG (scalable vector graphic) which is a vector image file format. Flash is also vector based and non bitmap but that isn't technically an image format.

whilst you're precise clicking on a picture, say online, you may basically acquire a replica of the record it particularly is there. If that's a bmp (bitmap) photograph, then that's what you will get. Open the image in MS Paint with the help of clicking on the super, blue button interior the top left corner and clicking on "Open", then basically click the super, blue button interior the top left corner returned, scroll all the way down to and relax the cursor on save As (you do no longer ought to click on it) and click on save As JPG image. you will discover Paint at initiate>All courses>upload-ons.

Yes, bitmaps are extremely large to transfer, so they aren't used on the Internet, or at least very rarely. But JPEG is an ideal image format imho.

Use GIF for drawing images with less than 256 Colors
Use JPG for photos (natural photos or contains gradient colors)
Use PNG if your image contains Alpha Transparency like the Windows XP Icons.

See the following. GIF, JPEG, and Bitmap, are all Raster formats.
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/web_graphics/article.php/3479931#44
The most popular bitmap formats will be .BMP and .RLE (compressed) although I noticed that a compressed BMP file saved as .BMP. On changing this to .RLE, it could still be loaded via HTML.

As mentioned .jpeg is used.
But, to answer your question, IF and when, it probably for nude women and pornographic cartoons. I guess that the type you asking?
