Why do people save images as JPEG?

[IkeTheGeneric]

It's irritating that people use a low-quality image format all the time!



I don't understand. It makes your images look like crap, and it's even more so annoying when you save an image I drew and you save it as a JPEG and then post it and expect me to edit it (Kind of like that land-of-us thing).

JPEG is also annoying because it can't be transparent.

So discuss your hatred for JPEG and JPEG artifacts

I save as PNGs and upload as JPEGs.
JPEGs usually don't look bad, but yeah they're a bitch to edit.

I save as PNGs because I was told off for having a JPEG avatar

JPEG has better compression but sacrifices quality.

Yes, saving those kilobytes for more pointless images. You'd have to have a 100MB hard drive to care about image size msot of the time

You know if you use a real image editing program you can change the compression level and save it as a jpeg without that annoying degrading of quality.

Always PNG. Never JPEG.

Do you really believe the intelligence level of this forum meets that qualification?

The decent members of the community, yes.
