•  Support I'm happy to support this version, too. Why are JPGs preferable to PNGs? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:28, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

  • The way a JPG image is formatted makes it more suitable for a real-life image, whereas PNGs are more suited for clip-art and other images requiring less colors. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 14:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

• In addition, PNGs can also be used for archival versions of photos (because PNG uses a looseless compression), but for displaying them in Wikis, a JPEG version works better with most photos, because the JPEG file of a photo is (normally) smaller and the MediaWiki software renders a better preview of it. --Aristeas (talk) 17:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
