PNG or JPEG?

The version of February are ready and I'm exporting the images but I've heard that some prefer PNGs, I've tried and honestly I don't see the difference beside the file size (PNG is heavier), so I'll just do a poll

Comments

PNG please, png is lossless, or at least a 100 quality selection when exporting to JPG, by default if you save a jpg image in photoshop and select the highest quality (12) it will save it to a lower quality than 100, if you zoom in youll be able to see the JPG artifacts and the loss of quality compared to PNG.

PNG can be open anywhere, it's pretty much universal just like JPG/JPEG.

So, I decided for JPEG because file size (PNG is the double heavier and very slow to export) and because aparently PNG cant be open on some devices (?), I am not sure about that but JPEG is just the safe option if that is the case.

PNG all the way. Highest quality

For the size your images are at, i have no problem with JPGs. If you're providing the transparency with PNGs, that would be a nice bonus, but generally, i prefer the smaller size of JPGs. If there's any compression at all, you dont notice it on such big images.

I'm using Android

What cellphone are you using? Mine can open both.

PNG is lossless, so that’s preferable to me. Both iOS and Android can handle PNG so that shouldn’t be a problem for either. Of course Mac and Windows handle them both fine.

Oh wait for real?? I don’t even have a computer so I really hope we still get jpeg if that’s the case. This literally my first month on here cuz I just found this artist. That would be terrible luck if my first month I can’t even get the content 😹

To me, because jpegs can be opened on my phone and pngs can't, I prefer jpeg.

Daniel

Color vibrancy and lossless compression iirc are the perks of png over jpeg

Gregg Ed

Same

Abi Aikou

Yeah. Which I do. I support a lot of artists and have a lot of my own stuff too. It doesn’t seem to change quality at all so what’s the reasoning. 🤔

Abi Aikou

I don't understand, feels like it'll take up much room if already have lots of photos and vids

Josue Calderon

I don’t understand either. The usual works fine for me, but if there’s a substantial difference, I wanna know.

OrcChamp

Can someone explain why many are preferring png? I don’t understand
