PNG

Portable Network Graphics

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was created in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It uses lossless compression, meaning no image quality is lost during compression. PNG's biggest advantage is support for transparency (alpha channel), making it perfect for logos, graphics, and images that need to overlay other content. PNG supports 24-bit RGB color (16.7 million colors) and 8-bit transparency (256 levels).

Joint Photographic Experts Group

JPG (JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group) has been the dominant image format for photographs since the 1990s. It uses lossy compression to achieve file sizes 10-20 times smaller than uncompressed images, with minimal perceptible quality loss at appropriate settings. At 85-90% quality, most people cannot distinguish JPG from the original.
