GIF = Graphics Interchange Format
JPEG = Joint Photographics Experts Group
PNG = Portable Network Graphic

And the author should have included the granddaddy of pictures: Bitmaps (.BMP).

In addition...

There are different image types due to the conversion process, with each type suitable best at some point in time; having differences in size, quality, transparency and support for animation.


A compression algorithm is used to convert a raw file to any of the types JPEG, PNG and GIF.

If you wish to compress a file to a very small size, the consequence is less image quality. Such compression are said to be LOSSY. This compression algorithm is best for images with high no of pixels. JPEG and GIF uses this type of compression algorithm and that is why most photos from cameras are in jpeg files.
Imagine if a 5MP camera produces. (5*1000)pixels=5000pixels
Then a Nokia Lumia 1020 will produce 41,000pixels!

While JPEG is best for photos with images, GIF is best for pictures with words alone (or being majority). Moreover, GIF supports animation and transparency.



For images in which quality is more important, a compression algorithm which retains quality is used. Such compression formats are said to be LOSSLESS. PNG uses this format. There are two common types of PNG files PNG-8 and PNG-24.

PNG-8 is built to improve on GIF. I.e like GIF, it is also small in size and can be smaller in sizes.

PNG-24 is built to improve on JPEG and which makes it most times larger in size than JPEG.

Are you sure JPEG is larger than PNG is size? It has always been the opposite for me. With the same image, PNG would be larger than JPEG in size.

To say "JPEG is much larger than the other two (GIF & PNG)" is false!

PNG is larger than the other two.

If we talk in terms of sizes, we woould find that JPEG is much larger than the other two and it is widely used for the distribution via web or email because it gives you ample detail while being very efficient.

You tried with your article but. . . . .

PNG are usually heavier than JPEG.
