40.1.4 Graphics formats for
HTML
JPEG, GIF, PNG
Graphics formats that work well on the Web are JPEG,
PNG, and GIF. We suggest JPEG for Web use. JPEG is universally supported
by browsers, and we have yet to see an instance of a graphic where it
behaved badly compared to other formats. Other formats might be useful
in particular situations, but they are not universally supported by Web
browsers.
