  1. Why we convert files There are many types of files that can be used on a PC (computer). A lot of these files need converting for different uses. E.g. an image that you would want to open and put in a PowerPoint would most likely be saved as a JPEG file. If you then wanted to put that image on the internet, the JPEG file doesn’t work that well, so you would convert that file into a TIFF file. The internet can work better with it converted into a TIFF file. You convert files because it depends on what your working with to use that image.

  2. File sizes Files have different sizes depending on how much memory they use. Different files such as an image (JPEG) will have less memory than a Photoshop (PSD) file because the quality of the photo might be better on Photoshop, plus Photoshop is also an editing software as well as a photo viewer, so it would be more memory than just a photo viewer.

  3. Types of files These are the most common files used on a computer/laptop in everyday life. Zip - Zip archive Pdf - PDF Document Mp3 - MP3 Audio file Jpg - JPEG image Rar - RAR Archive Exe - executable file Wmv - Windows media file Doc - Windows word document Avi - Audio video interleave Ppt - Microsoft PowerPoint

  4. If I had a photo and I wanted to edit it on Photoshop, I would save it as a psd file, because that’s the easiest file that Photoshop can read. But then if I wanted to send it as an email, I would probably save it as a JPEG filer because its smaller, and will send easier. If I wanted to upload that photo onto the internet I would save it as a TIFF file because that’s the easiest type of file the internet can understand
