JPG vs GIF vs PNG

These graphic file formats are the most common ones in the web.

JPG or JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.  This technique is used to compress color and grayscale. This programm is best for complex images and graphics.

GIF stands for Graphic interchange format. This program is a lossless techinique and supports only 256 colors. With an animator editor, GIF images can be put together for animated images.

PNG is short for portable network graphics. This techinique is an improved one of GIF. It can be more compressed but can not be animated.

This photo is an example of a PNG format.
In my opinion  I think that the best type is JPG because it has the best color technique even though GIF can be animated so this program is also very good.
