PNG

PNGs are amazing for interactive documents such as web pages but are not suitable for print. While PNGs are lossless, meaning you can edit them and not lose quality, they are still low resolution. The reason PNGs are used in most web projects is that you can save your image with more colors on a transparent background. This makes for a much sharper, web-quality image.

JP2

JP2, or JPEG 2000, is a file format for storing bitmap images with advanced compression and file data capabilities. The standard filename extension for JP2 files is .jp2. JP2 files can be compressed using either lossless or lossy compression. Lossless compression results in a larger but higher quality image. JP2 files can store metadata such as dimensions, tone scale, color space, and intellectual property rights. JP2 files can be decoded at various resolutions. Applications: Programs that can open JP2 files include Apple Preview, IrfanView, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and PaintShop Pro. Not all web browsers support JP2 formats, so a plug-in may be required to view them. The Joint Photographic Experts Group developed the JPEG 2000 standard from 1997 to 2000 to replace the original JPEG standard, which was created in 1992.
