 Graphics File Formats and Graphic File Conversion
Uncompressed pixel format files are always NxMxB bytes in size, regardless of the complexity of the image, where N and M are the number of rows and columns, and B is the number of bytes per pixel.
Most graphic systems, such as PhotoShop, XV, PaintShop Pro, and many others allow you to convert graphic files to other formats just by reading in a file in one format and saving it in another.
Another graphic format, PNG has been widely discussed but is just now becoming significant.
