What is JPEG?
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a photo-oriented raster format that uses lossy, DCT-based compression to dramatically reduce file size. Most JPEGs are 8-bit per channel in sRGB and apply chroma subsampling (commonly 4:2:0), which discards some color detail that humans notice less than luminance. Files may be baseline or progressive (for faster perceived loading). The .jpeg and .jpg extensions are interchangeable. JPEG supports EXIF metadata but not true transparency, layers, or animation, so it’s poor for logos, UI icons, or crisp text. Use PNG or SVG for graphics; consider WebP/AVIF for smaller photos. Choose a quality around 85–92 for web to balance clarity and size, and avoid re-saving repeatedly, which compounds compression artifacts like ringing and blockiness.
What is GIF?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a widely supported raster image format famous for lightweight animations. A .gif uses an 8-bit palette (up to 256 colors) and lossless LZW compression, which suits logos, line art, and stickers but is less ideal for photos. Animation works by sequencing frames with per-frame delays and optional looping (the classic Netscape 2.0 extension). GIF also supports a single transparent color, creating cutout effects without true alpha blending. Because the palette is limited, creators often use dithering to mimic gradients. Standard GIFs contain no audio. You can make or edit GIFs in Photoshop, GIMP, ImageMagick, or online converters; for smaller files and better quality, consider MP4, WebP, or APNG when animation is required.
