.EPS
Encapsulated PostScript is a vector-based image file format. 
Images that use vectors can replicate at any size without loss of quality. That’s
because they use mathematical equations to tell each pixel in the image what
colour and size they should be depending on the final size of the image.

Branding and Graphic Design
Common vector-based images include digital illustrations, logos and text.
When to use
External agencies will request an .EPS file of our logo and brandmark for
publications such as booklets and flyers, or for signage such as banners. 
Ultimately, .EPS files are the best choice to provide to external agencies, as they
can be converted to .PNG and .JPG at any size. 
However, only certain programs will be able to read and open .EPS files, such as
Adobe Illustrator.

.PNG
The Portable Networks Graphics is a raster-based image file format. Unlike vector,
raster-based images can’t be reproduced at larger sizes without noticeable
under 
pixilation and blurriness.
A benefit of .PNG files over .JPG is that they utilise transparent backgrounds. If you
need to place an image into a program such as PowerPoint where you have a
coloured background, a .PNG image will not leave a white background around the
edges of the image.
Examples

Common .PNG images include line drawings, text and graphics at a small size.

When to use
External agencies will request a .PNG file for use in digital promotions such as
including our logo and brandmark on their website for sponsorship.

.JPG
The .JPG image format is also raster-based and can’t be reproduced at larger sizes
without loss of quality. They typically have smaller files sizes compared to .PNG.
This is because .JPGs use lossy compression, meaning unnecessary information is
lost when converting to this file type. 
.JPGs don’t have transparent backgrounds. This means there will be a background
of some colour (typically white) when the image doesn’t extend to make a four-

sided shape. This can be advantageous in scenarios where you wish to have a
predetermined amount of white space around an image.
This file type is not ideal for logos, however on occasion is can serve the purpose
of being a quick and easy way to import a file into a program. 
Examples
The most common example of a .JPG image is a photograph.
When to use
It’s unlikely that an external agency will request a .JPG file for use.

Third-party use
The ARPANSA logo should generally only be given to indicate our actual
under 
involvement in or support for something and not to imply we endorse a third
party’s commercial offerings. 
The only exception to this would be if a third party wanted to use us as a referee
certifying we had previously used their services. Approval for this type of use
would need to be done on a case-by-case basis - please contact Legal Counsel for
more information.
