  9. PNG (8-bit) • Best for line art (logos) • Compresses solid areas of color well and maintains sharp detail • Generally, has better compression than GIF (10-30% smaller) • If considering saving as GIF, also consider saving as PNG (8-bit) • Not supported by older browsers

  10. PNG (24-bit) • Best for continuous-tone images • Compresses well, but can be larger than JPEGs • If considering saving as JPEG, could also consider PNG (24-bit) • Not supported by older browsers

  12. GIF vs PNG Comparison of JPEG and PNG 10.8K PNG-8 with 64 colors 9.5K GIF with 64 colors
