the prefix.

Format
(File Extension)
Explanation
BMP (*.BMP)
(Windows only)
A standard image file format for Windows. Most
Windows applications including word processing
applications can read and prepare images in
this format.
JPG (*.JPG)
A compressed file format. The compression
quality can be selected. The JEPG format
enables relatively high compression ratio.
However, the higher the compression ratio is, the
lower the image quality becomes. (Note that the
original data cannot be restored.) In addition,
the quality deteriorates every time the data is
saved. The TIFF format is recommended in cases
where modification, retouch and like are
required.
