What are the differences between jpg and png images?
user
JPG stands for “joint photographic experts group”, and it is a popular method of compressing digital images. PNG stands for “portable network graphics”, and it is a compressed image format that is similar to the standard web-oriented GIF.

Which one is the better image format and why?
user
PNG is more robust and, for many filesizes, is a bit smaller in size.
assistant
So png images have better quality and smaller sizes?
user
Yes. They also tend to be lossless, which means that no data is lost as they are compressed, whereas jpg images can become distorted as they are compressed.
assistant
That was helpful. I will start using the png format.
