Q

What is a lossy format?

A

These have smaller file sizes but do not store a perfect copy of the image. They are best suited to photographs and other images where perfect accuracy is not important. They are also commonly used on the web to save bandwidth. Example: JPEG.

Q

What is a lossless format?

A

These store an exact pixel-by-pixel representation of the image, but require more space. They are more suitable for things like logos. Arguably the best of these formats is PNG, which is Vector Magic’s recommended bitmap format for logos. It is widely supported and has very good compression. Examples: PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF.
