I made my avatar, you can search around google, & personally, I think PNG's are best because they are small, clear, support transparent, & for FireFox or Opera users, Alpha Channel works (doesnt work right in Internet Explorer).

I guess that one of the "Are there any Female Klikkers?" posts was one of the longest threads evar. But obviously it's locked already.

Jpegs are fine, so long as they're saved in a decent program.

True. Let's say, I take a screenshot and save it as a JPEG using Paint. Now, it's completely destroyed. In Paint you can't select a compression/quality setting.
Now, let's say we save it in Photoshop, then we get the option to set the quality. If you set the quality to 12 (maximum) there is no quality loss and the file is smaller.


But I like PNG better anyway

I use irfanview to save pictures from Bitmaps to whatever else.


Pngs are quite good usually because i don't see any change at all in quality,

Gifs are alright too but sometimes make pictures a little grainy,

With Jpegs you can choose the quality of the file but you will never get a 1-1 copy after saving as a jpeg. Also more quality = bigger size.

Depends on the format and subject. Jpeg have decent compression, but they're lossy. PNGs are lossless, but the compression is't great. However, if you had a 24-bit image that only uses <255 colours, a GIF will give you extreme compression while retaining quality. Just depends on the situation.

PNG still has better compression than GIF. Regarding JPEG, even when set to max quality, there is still a loss due to chroma subsampling (that is taking 1 chroma sample for every 4 luma samples).

Phredreeke: Actually there's a form of lossless jpeg, but I can't remember what it's called or whether or not anything uses it.

It seems that a cockroach in a children show suggest the kids at home to use Gif because it can be animated and you decide how many colors you want in... So what if I can use up to two houndreds and fifty six colors only? If a bug in a children's puppet show said it I'll eagerly take the advice!

What about "White PNG" format? Some people think the book was a classic!

ok this is all very nice and helpfull.

Andy UK: say i were to make a flash animation (a short one) and save it as an animated gif. would that be an option. and how small would it need to be. nvm, gif animations suck. but are there any other good ways to make it animated.

and i still need a good place to host it.
