The term "digital format" refers to a specific way in which data or information is organized, stored and transmitted using digital technology. This means that instead of being represented by continuous signals like sound waves or light waves, it uses discrete values typically expressed as ones and zeros (binary code). Digital formats are commonly used for storing, processing and exchanging all types of media such as text documents, audio recordings, video files, images, etc., making them easily accessible, editable, and transportable through various digital devices.
