Can someone tell me why should a graphic containing several words should be saved in GIF instead of jpeg?
The graphic comes from Who Is Hosting This and is meant to help us choose the right file type when saving an image. JPEG's ability to reduce file size up to 15% without losing quality makes it useful for web pages (faster uploads and less storage space usage)—especially for colorful photos.
