Compression

Metafile
Combined with raster and vector information
JPEG 2000
is a compression standard enabling both lossless and
lossy storage.
JPEG 2000 also adds features that are missing in
JPEG.
It is not nearly as common as JPEG, but it is used
currently in professional movie editing and
distribution (e.g., some digital cinemas use JPEG
2000 for individual movie frames).

Advantages
The PNG file format supports true color (16 million
colors) while the GIF supports only 256 colors.
The PNG file excels when the image has large,
uniformly colored areas.
The lossless PNG format is best suited for editing
pictures, and the lossy formats, like JPG, are best for
the final distribution of photographic images,
because in this case JPG files are usually smaller than
PNG files.
Advantages
All contemporary web browsers now support all
common uses of the PNG format
PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF
and can also replace many common uses of TIFF.
Advantages
Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are
supported, plus an optional alpha channel.
PNG is designed to work well in online viewing
applications, such as the World Wide Web, so it is
fully streamable with a progressive display option
