GIF pictures support transparency, compression, although the lossless compression is in most cases inferior to the .JPG format or the .PNG format, interlacing, and multiple-image pictures (animated GIFs). GIF transparency is not alpha channel transparency and cannot support semitransparent effects. .GIF compression is LZW compression, at a roughly 3:1 ratio. The GIF raster image format comes in four subformats: Ver. 87a and Ver. 89a, which can be both interlaced or non-interlaced. All formats are standardized by CompuServe.

To represent a photo using less data, compression software segments the picture into blocks and computes an average value for each block. To retrieve the photo, the process is reversed. When creating a .JPG file, you can choose different levels of compression to display more or less of the original quality of the photo. .JPG compression ratios vary between 7:1 and 100:1. The .JPG format comfortably compresses files at a 10:1 to 20:1 ratio, with little picture degradation. .JPG compression is a lossy type of compression. .JPG compression works well with photo-realistic artwork. However, for simpler artwork with fewer colors, sharp levels of contrast, solid borders, or large solid areas of color, .JPG compression does not provide superior results. This loss occurs because the .JPG compression scheme compresses similar hues well. But the .JPG compression scheme does not work as well with sharp differences in brightness or with solid areas of color. When you edit and resave .JPG files, .JPG compounds the degradation of the original picture data. This degradation is cumulative. Some advantages are: Supports interlacing and .jpg is a widely supported internet standard. The .JPG raster image format has one format: the JPEG standard. .KE is in Internet addresses the country code of Kenya .KG is in Internet addresses the country code of Kyrgyzstan .KH is in Internet addresses the country code of Cambodia .KI is in Internet addresses the country code of Kiribati .KM is in Internet addresses the country code of Comoros .KML Keyhole Markup Language.
