  2. PNG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG

    Poor compression increases the PNG file size but does not affect the image quality or compatibility of the file with other programs. When the color depth of a truecolor image is reduced to an 8-bit palette (as in GIF), the resulting image data is typically much smaller. Thus a truecolor PNG is typically larger than a color-reduced GIF, although ...

  3. Image file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_format

    An image file format is a file format for a digital image. There are many formats that can be used, such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Most formats up until 2022 were for storing 2D images, not 3D ones. The data stored in an image file format may be compressed or uncompressed. If the data is compressed, it may be done so using lossy compression or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

    Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) is a lossless compression algorithm developed by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv and Terry Welch in 1984. It is used in the GIF format, introduced in 1987. [16] DEFLATE, a lossless compression algorithm developed by Phil Katz and specified in 1996, is used in the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pngcrush

    pngcrush is a free and open-source command-line utility for optimizing PNG image files. It reduces the size of the file losslessly – that is, the resulting "crushed" image will have the same quality as the source image. The main purpose of pngcrush is to reduce the size of the PNG IDAT data stream by trying various combinations of compression ...

    There are 4 basic choices for image file formats : SVG for simple diagrams (especially those that need to be scaled). JPEG for photographic images. GIF for animated images. PNG for everything else. While some formats offer multiple compression systems, in general the format and the compression system are tied together.

  7. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

    High-compression (low quality) JPEG. In information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content.

  8. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy. [1] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only of an approximation of ...

  9. WebP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP

    WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, [8] as well as animation and alpha transparency . Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable version of its supporting library in April 2018.
