Lossy Compression Photos FAQ

What are lossless and lossy compression formats?

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) JPEG WebP (high-density lossless or lossy compression of RGB and RGBA images) High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) Better Portable Graphics (BPG) (lossless or lossy compression) JPEG XR, a successor of JPEG with support for high dynamic range, wide gamut pixel formats (lossless or lossy compression) JPEG WebP (high-density lossless or lossy compression of RGB and RGBA images) High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) Better Portable Graphics (BPG) (lossless or lossy compression) JPEG XR, a successor of JPEG with support for high dynamic range, wide gamut pixel formats (lossless or lossy compression)

Are jpegs lossy or lossless?

JPEG-LS is a lossless/near-lossless compression standard for continuous-tone images. Its official designation is ISO-14495-1/ITU-T.87. It is a simple and efficient baseline algorithm which consists of two independent and distinct stages called modeling and encoding.

Is png lossless or lossy?

PNG is not always lossless; it just supports lossless compression (as well as lossy compression). TIFF is a good lossless file format for photographic images. It used to be my understanding that PNG doesn't support colour profiles, but I may have been mistaken on that one.
