GIF VS JPEG
GIF
(Graphics Interchange Format)
GIF is best for images that
have solid colors, text, and
line art.
It is also best when the
image has detail, like text,
where every pixel (dot on
the screen) counts.
GIF is a "lossless" form of
compression.
JPEG
(Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is best for
photographs, and scanned
photographs, of natural
images.
It is not as good for
images where every pixel
counts
It is usually a "lossy"
compression, where you
do not get back every pixel
exactly as it was in the
original image.
