About JPEG format
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is identical to JPG - the different extension is simply a historical artifact from early file system limitations. Both formats use the same compression algorithm and produce identical results. JPEG remains the standard for digital photography and web images due to its excellent compression and universal support.
Pros
- +Identical to JPG with universal support
- +Efficient compression for photographs
- +Widely recognized file extension
Cons
- -Same limitations as JPG (lossy, no transparency)
- -Some older systems prefer .jpg extension
- -Quality loss with repeated editing
About PNG format
PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, logos, and images requiring crisp edges. Developed as a patent-free alternative to GIF, PNG uses efficient compression while preserving every pixel of the original image. It's the go-to format for screenshots, graphics with text, and images where quality cannot be compromised.
Pros
- +Lossless compression preserves image quality
- +Full transparency support with alpha channel
- +Excellent for graphics with sharp edges and text
Cons
- -Larger file sizes than lossy formats like JPEG
- -Not ideal for photographs
- -No animation support (use APNG or GIF instead)
