Image formats

The images in the image archive can be downloaded in seven different sizes and qualities:

1. Fullsize Original (in TIFF, JPEG or GIF): The highest, most optimal resolution available. We always post the best resolution on the web.
2. Large JPEG (original width x original height): Same size as the Fullsize Original, but in JPEG format (compression quality 80). Has low enough compression to be used for printed publications although the Publication JPEG may be better.
3. Publication TIFF or JPEG: Publication-ready TIFF or JPEG files (compression quality 90), 4000 pixels large on the largest side . Has low enough compression to be used for printed publications.
4. Screensize JPEG (1280 x *): 1280 pixels wide in JPEG format (compression quality 60).
5. Zoomable: A special format that uses a Flash zoom application to allow you to zoom on the image until you reach 100%. Only then can the largest Hubble images be appreciated in all their beauty.
6. Wallpaper (1024 x 768): 1024 x 768 pixels Wallpaper in JPEG format (compression quality 80).
7. Wallpaper (1280 x 1024): 1280 x 1024 pixels Wallpaper in JPEG format (compression quality 80).
