There are a vast array of file formats on the web. Some of the formats you may be more familiar with are the main image formats of JPEG, GIF, and PNG.

JPEG

This is perhaps the most common format on the web and stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group." JPEG's are most commonly used for photographs and images with lots of colours.
