With a JPG, the graphic is compressed to make the file small. For example, photos that are taken with a digital camera are usually in JPG format. Because of their small size, JPGs are ideal for being used for photos on websites. However, they are not good for presenting logos , graphics or line drawings because during the compression process the image loses some of its detail. This makes images look like bitmaps with lines looking jagged.
The PNG format is an open format that was created as an alternative to the GIF format, which required a licensing fee through the company that held a patent for the format. The PNG format offers a better quality graphic than a GIF with better compression and a wider range of color without loss of detail.
