Format Details
JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most widely used lossy image compression format in the world, designed for compressing natural photographic images. It achieves high compression ratios by discarding visual detail that the human eye is less sensitive to, typically reducing file sizes by 10× or more. JPEG is universally supported across every device and application, and remains the standard format for digital photography and web images.
GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is one of the most recognized image formats on the internet, developed by CompuServe in 1987. It supports up to 256 colors per frame and lossless LZW compression, and is famous for its animation capability, making it ideal for simple looping clips and reaction images. GIF remains enormously popular for sharing short animations and memes across social media and messaging platforms.
