Raw uncompressed images typically have file extensions of .img or .bin or .dmp (but are not limited to those extensions).
Compressed images typically end with .gz or .tar.gz or .zip or .7z or .bz2, but may use other compression methods in the future. Most images are compressed so that they will download faster and use less cloud storage space.
You MUST uncompress the compressed files before flashing them. Simply renaming them WILL NOT WORK.
You can flash any of the UNCOMPRESSED files.
UPDATE: Some tools may require that you rename the raw uncompressed image files (see hawhill's post below).
