About images
Type and size
Images for the web are normally in GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), JPEG (Joint
Photographic Experts Group) or PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. These
are "compressed" formats, i.e. the number of colours is restricted to keep the le
size low. You should avoid using uncompressed image les wherever possible.
Remember that if a page takes a long time to load your readers will lose interest and
go elsewhere.
Your administrator may also have set limitations on the size of images that you can
insert. Even if there is no restriction, you should ensure that your image is not so big
that your viewers have to scroll to see it in full.
Tip: If you have a large image you think your readers should see in full, create a
small version (called a thumbnail) using an image editing package, and link this to a
page containing the full size image. Your readers can then choose whether to load
the page or not.
Note that some le types, for example, TIFF, are not supported by all web browsers
and should not be used.
Accessibility
