Typical Uses for JPEG, GIF and PDF artwork
The following formats have been provided in various sizes for each piece of available clip art. Should you need an image in a different size or format than what is provided, or if you have difficulty with an image, please contact us for help.
Using a JPEG format
This format displays photographs and other continuous-tone images on the web. JPEG format supports CMYK, RGB (millions of colors), and Grayscale color modes. Unlike GIF format, JPEG retains all color information in an RGB image but compresses file size by selectively discarding data. An important difference between GIF and JPG, is that JPG does not preserve transparency.
Using a GIF file with transparent background:
The transparent background means that the file's background is invisible. When these files are placed 'on top' of other images and only the clip art figure will appear without being surrounded by a white box.
