JPG File Type

The JPG file extension, also known as JPEG image, is a popular format for storing digital images. This file format is common because it takes up less space than other formats like TIFF and BMP. The JPEG image is created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) which was established in 1986. They are responsible for developing the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF). The JFIF was then used to create a Joint Photographic Experts Group standard in 1992 that defines the compression method for this file format.

PNG File Type

PNG is an acronym for 'Portable Network Graphic'. PNG is a lossless compression image file format developed to replace the older, GIF file format. When you open up a PNG file, you will see that it looks like any other graphic. The difference between JPEG and PNG files is that the pixel color information is stored in 8 bits per pixel (giving 4 levels of grayscale) rather than 24 bits per pixel (giving 16.7 million levels of grayscale).
