Web FAQ 3.02. How do I put graphics on a Web page?

    First, save the graphic file in a GIF (.gif file extension) or JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg file extension) format. Currently, these are the only two supported graphics formats for the WEB.

Note: In order for a graphics file to work properly, you MUST not only give the file a correct extension (.gif, .jpg, or .jpeg), but also save the file in the corresponding format (i.e. myfile.jpg must be saved in a JPEG format).


Then, transfer the file into your "www" directory (for recommendations, see FAQ 2.4). Use raw data mode if you're uploading it from a Macintosh. Use binary mode if you're uploading it from a PC.

Please refer to the Introduction to Web Graphics or portfolio.psu.edu pages if you have further questions about saving graphics or inserting them into your web pages.
