Question

I searched the internet for the basic formats of image files (e.g. .jpg, .png, .gif) as there is a specific format for .doc, .pdf etc. But didn't got anything relevant. And today I also came with an .bin image format. BIN signifies that the image is in the Binary format. So, what is the Internal format of .jpg image file. And How is it different from .bin (Binary) format. Because everything is Basically saved in Binary Form. And How is BITMAP Image different from .jpg format.

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

if you open the files in notepad or change the jpg to .txt and a exe to .txt you will see the first X amount of bytes defines what type of file it is etc. I have never looked into where the "standard" is but as you will see all JPEGS start with a specific byte and EXE start with a specific byte no matter what the content

Also JPEG is a licensed compressed form of an image and BMP is Microsoft Windows version of an image(with little or no compression I believe. png is open source or GPL licensed and technically your files do not need to be "licensed" to convert to JPEG. This is the same as a .MP3 vs a.OGG in terms of music
