You can save your file as TIFF (a high-quality graphic type), GIF (a compressed file type that’s common on the Internet), PNG (designed to work well with online viewing applications, similar to GIF), BMP (a Windows bitmap file that Windows graphics programs create by default), or JPEG (the most common file type created by digital cameras).

After you change a file type, Windows automatically chooses the correct file extension and adds it to the end of the filename. Photoshop asks you to verify the file’s change of format.
