Here, just for illustrative purposes. A PNG is compressed but lossless. It means there is no loss in quality and as such a common format to save things at max quality in. That is, unless you reduce the colour palette to 8-bit instead of 24. That's 256 colours vs. 16,777,216 possible colours. A JPG is lossy, and will throw away perceptually less noticeable stuff. It's much less intrusive of a quality loss than reducing the colour palette. Incidentally, the tool mentioned before can still compress your 24-bit lossless PNGs more than they already are while keeping the resulting image data identical by putting more effort into finding the best way to compress it (like oxipng). Thanks for attending my Ted talk.
