WebP
A modern image format that offers lossy and lossless compression for images on the web. It is designed to create smaller files sizes with comparable or better quality than JPEG and PNG.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
A lossless compression algorithm for images. It's commonly used for web images that require transparency or need to preserve fine detail without losing quality.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
A lossless bitmap image format that uses LZW compression. Commonly used for small animations and low-resolution film clips.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy compression algorithm for digital images, particularly for those with high color depth. It is widely used for storing and transmitting photographs on the internet.
BMP (Bitmap Image File)
An uncompressed raster graphics image, which provides high quality but at the cost of much larger file sizes, often used in the Windows operating system.
JPEG 2000
An image compression standard and coding system that uses wavelet compression algorithm to provide high image quality, progressive loading, and lossless or lossy compression.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
Flexible, lossless compression that's widely supported across image editing applications. TIFF files can be compressed using a variety of algorithms, including LZW and ZIP.
EXR (OpenEXR)
A high dynamic range (HDR) image file format created by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications. It supports lossy and lossless compression.
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format)
A container format for individual images and image sequences that uses the High Efficiency Video Compression (HEVC, or H.265) codec, aiming to improve upon JPEG size and quality.
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format)
A lossless image format that outperforms PNG, lossless JPEG 2000, and lossless WebP in terms of compression capabilities.
