It does achieve higher compression at the cost of quality loss. The features of both file formats are explained in e.g. Wikipedia (and numerous other sites): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG HTH, Michael -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

[Gimp-user] PNG vs JPG
i have created some wallpapers for GNU and want to publish them on my blog. all are under Free Art License. Primarily, i use GIMP and save images PNG format and i see my images are of size 2.5 MB. when i convert them to JPG format they get reduced to only 347 or 600 KB of size without any loss in quality. i have a slow broadband connection. I can not upload images of size more than 1.5 MB and hence PNG images never got published on my blog. i live with the GNU spirit and use Free formats only like HTML and TXT for articles i use to write. In GIMP, is there any way i can reduce those PNG images to same size as JPG ? Why JPG is so lightweight as compared to PNG ? (even when image doe snot have any transparency) ( BTW, is JPG a fre format like PNG ? ) -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
