This question already has an answer here:




  • Graphics file extensions and their order of inclusion when not specified

We usually write something like



includegraphics{image}


instead of:



includegraphics{image.png}  


That is, includegraphics does not usually require a file extension such as .png .pdf .jpg, etc... That is,



Suppose that I have all of the following files in the same directory. Which file will includegraphics embed?



my_pic.jpg
my_pic.psd
my_pic.png
my_pic.pdf
my_pic.jpeg
my_pic.gif

It depends on the engine. With pdftex the current list (which you can find in pdftex.def) is:



defGin@extensions{%
.pdf,.png,.jpg,.mps,.jpeg,.jbig2,.jb2,%
.PDF,.PNG,.JPG,.JPEG,.JBIG2,.JB2%
}


That means that e.g. pdf will be prefered, then png etc.

    @Sigur the user documentation tells you how to set the list texdoc graphics section 4.5 DeclareGraphicsExtensions the default is driver specific and initially there were dozens of different drivers they are not documented in the core documentation.

As documented in the graphics guide (section 4.5), this is user settable.



If you have



DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.png}


in your document then it will just try .pdf then .png in that order, and ignore the rest.



The default value as shown in Ulrike's answer is set in the driver file for the option you are using. (Using a lower level def syntax rather than DeclareGraphicsExtensions because the driver files might be loaded by the color package, before DeclareGraphicsExtensions is defined.)

    The default value as shown in Ulrike's answer is set in the driver file for the option you are using. (Using a lower level def syntax rather than DeclareGraphicsExtensions because the driver files might be loaded by the color package, before DeclareGraphicsExtensions is defined.)
