Bitmap

This is a common graphic format used by computers, it can be likened to a map of bits (hence the name) as the graphic/picture is made up of a number of individual dots (bits) to form an image.

The file extension for these type of files is .bmp, these can get very large in file-size (i.e. kilobytes) and if storage space is a factor then it is best to convert the image into a more compressed format such as JPEG.
