Cat 1: “Do you think we should scale up the image?”
Cat 2: “Nah, I think it’s funny when people can’t read it and get all frustrated.”
Cat 3: “I guess I’ll never know what this meme says.”
Cat 4: “JPEG!”
JPEGs bad reputation results only from platforms automatically compressing things with very bad presets. Just saying.
im a png elitist.
I had someone in a marketing department send me a logo in a .bmp once.
I was embarrassed for them.
Obviously should have been the svg
Png is cool, but have you considered .cr2?
Is this loss?
of quality
that was the joke.jpg
Repeat after me:
JPEG is for photos, PNG is for graphics.
WebP is for annoying people.
What is TIFF for?
Confusing them.
TGA might also work well for that. Also PBM outside of Unix space.
Tiff is for science. Like for actual values that need more than 0-255 level of precision.
For example we use Tiff (or GeoTiff because it has coordinates) for storing elevation, temperature, slope, etc variables of an area for processing. It can also have a lot of bands not just RGB.
For example, satellites record RGB, infrared 1, infrared 2, and many other bands and even if we can’t see them it’s useful to get that information for processing. That helps for example to recognize river from forest even if both look green to our eyes.
Faxes.
Png is for everything.
JPEG would’ve been for all, IF IT WASN’T FOR FASCIST AMERICA.
Found a version with more pixels:
Do I look like I know what a jay-peg is??
Doesn’t need any more JPEG
Is this loss?
No really is it? I can’t tell
It’s very lossy
Nope. Not the loss format.

I bet it still takes more storage than an SVG that would even show the text properly.
So, one of the guys at work just exported graphics for one of our marketing sites as SVG, and it became a 3.5 MB monstrosity that would be orders of magnitude smaller if he had just exported it as a JPEG or even a PNG.
Well, if you are tracing the JPEG to make an SVG, instead of using the source SVG, that will happen.
Or if you try to convert an actual picture (unlike the thing in the post) into SVG.
Or if for some reason, you just have to use 50 different non-system fonts for a 4 panel.But hey, now at least you can scale it up to 9999K
The funny thing is that this is a WebP.
