An image file format is a standard for organizing and storing digital images.

Digital image files are composed of digital data in a format that can be rasterized for use on a computer display or printer.

An image file format may store data in uncompressed, compressed, or vector formats.

Once rasterized, an image becomes a grid of pixels, each of which has a number of bits to designate its color equal to the color depth of the device displaying it.
