Lossless vs. Lossy Compression: A Quick Comparison
Lossless: This method reduces file size without discarding any pixel data. It is ideal for images containing text or sharp lines, such as logos, though the file size reduction isn't as dramatic.
Lossy (JPEG): This is the go-to method for photographs. It reduces file sizes significantly by stripping less important visual data. It is perfect for web use where ultra-small file sizes are essential for speed.
