Which set of file formats is best for commercial print projects?

Different image formats compress image data differently. PNG and TIFF images work the best for most print projects. JPG images work Ok at 100% quality, but every time the JPG is saved it is recompressed, so the quality can drop quickly if it is saved often at less than maximum quality.

Similarly, which set of file formats is best for web output?

The formats most commonly used for web images are GIF and JPG. These formats offer low file sizes and moderate to very high quality. GIF is commonly used for simple illustrations, while JPEG is more commonly used for photographs.

Likewise, which set of file formats is used for video output? 264 or MPEG 4 format allows recording high quality video that can be compressed so that too much memory or space is not occupied. File Extensions: MP4, M4P, M4B, M4R, M4V, M4A, DIVX, EVO, F4V, FLV.
