DIFFERENT FILE FORMATS
You must have observed that whatever we do on a computer is saved as a file. But every file
stores a different thing, like a Word file stores text, a video file contains multimedia, an audio file
contains audio and a picture file stores pictures. So, how does a computer differentiate between
different types of files? The file type is also called the file format. So, all these files contain
different types of data and are saved in a specific format. The file format can be determined by
the file extension. A file extension is a group of two or more characters used to identify the type
of a file. It helps an operating system recognise the different types of files. The file formats of
different types of files depend upon the software used for creating those files. Software puts a
file extensions after the file name to specify its format. Some of the most commonly used file
extension or file formats are:
JPEG: It stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is used to store images and can have
extensions like .jpeg, .jpg, or .jpe.
MP4: It is used to store multimedia files, including audio, video, movies, and still images. Files
with the .mp4 extension are MPEG-4 video files.
