Obafemi, there's quite a few. Some are common to desktop publishing software, others for raster or vector art and others common to Windows of Apple. Here's a list, SVG - PDF - EPS - PS - PCL -
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): SVG is a vector image format that is resolution-independent, meaning it can be scaled to any size without loss of image quality. It's particularly useful when you need high-quality graphics for print or when you want to allow users to zoom in on an image without pixelation. SVG is often used for diagrams, charts, and illustrations. However, some publishers may not accept SVG for graphical abstracts.
PDF (Portable Document Format): PDF is a versatile format that can contain both vector and raster graphics. You can create a PDF file with your graphical abstract, and it's widely accepted for scientific publications. PDFs are especially useful when you need to ensure that the layout and formatting of your graphical abstract remain consistent across different devices and software.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format): TIFF is a high-quality raster image format that supports lossless compression. It's often used in scientific and medical imaging where preserving fine details and high resolution is crucial. Some publishers accept TIFF files for graphical abstracts.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): GIF is a bitmap image format that supports animations. It's not commonly used for graphical abstracts in scientific publications but can be useful for presenting a sequence of images or demonstrating a process with simple animations.
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript): EPS is a vector image format widely used in the publishing industry, especially for professional printing. It's great for preserving high-quality graphics and is often accepted for scientific publications.
