Digital media is used on websites, social media platforms, and in advertisements.For pictures, file formats are used, among which JPG is very common. JPG format is widely used in photography, graphics, web design, and social media. In 1992, JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) introduced this format. It reduces the file size significantly, which makes it very useful.
The JPEG file format was basically created for storing images. It is used to images designing digitally. Apart from images, it is also used in graphic design, web development, and printing media. JPEG is considered a standard format for working with photos and images. JPEG files use lossy compression, due to which some data is lost. Its main advantage is that it reduces file size, but it does not support transparency.
PNG Format is the Most Popular Image Format
PNG format is considered one of the best and most popular image formats. Its main advantages include high quality, transparency, and clarity. PNG is widely used in web design, social media, and mobile apps. Compared to other formats, it allows better use and clearer visibility. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) supports transparency and does not lose quality when edited. It is also possible to adjust its size without losing image quality. Because of these qualities, PNG has become a very important and widely used format across the world.
History of PNG
PNG was created in 1994. It was developed as an alternative to GIF using lossless compression (LZW compression). It was designed so that people could use it without licensing issues. The development of PNG started in 1995, and later in 2003, PNG became an international standard. It has been officially approved as an international standard by ISO/IEC (ISO/IEC 15948).
