Choosing between JPG, PNG, and TIFF? Here's a quick guide: JPG is great for web use due to small file sizes but loses quality when compressed. PNG offers lossless compression and supports transparency, ideal for graphics. TIFF is a high-quality format perfect for print, offering lossless compression. Select based on your need for quality, file size, and use case. #GraphicDesignTips #ImageFormats #DesignAdvice #VisualTextures

🔥 Breaking news: #JPEGs still reign supreme after three decades, and apparently, that's so controversial it broke the internet! 🖼️💥 Who knew discussing image formats would lead to a 403 Forbidden Error – looks like even the web server couldn't handle the excitement! 🤦♂️

Why JPEGs Still Rule the Web After 30 Years
PC World: Security flaw found in GIMP! Avoid opening this file type until it’s fixed. “More specifically, the vulnerability occurs when an ICO file is much larger than its stated image size. The creator of an ICO file can specify any dimensions for the image, but the actual dimensions may be larger, which results in a calculated buffer size that’s too small. When the buffer overflows, […]
Lifehacker: Google Photos Now Lets You Convert Standard Photos to Ultra HDR. “Ultra HDR is a cool image format. Like traditional HDR, this format packs more image data into each media file, which translates into brighter highlights, darker shadows, and more vibrant colors. However, Ultra HDR files also contain the standard dynamic range (SDR) version of the image as well. That way, you can […]
Apparently Facebook doesn't know what to do when you upload a GIF that is not animated -- just a single image.
Animation wasn't even added until GIF89a! The main Discord channel I haunt also disallows GIFs wholesale -- to avoid animated GIFs any *.GIF file is trashed.
Is this what the human race has come to?

Hey, speaking of Alt Text (which I wasn't), when are we going to update some common image format, or create a better new one, that allows alt text to travel with the image metadata so that it could automatically be added to any on-line posting?

Creating an Image Format for Embedded Hardware
Whether its one of those ubiquitous little OLED displays or a proper LCD panel, once you've got something a bit more capable than the classic 16×2 character LCD wired up to your microcontroller, there's an excellent chance you'll want to start displaying some proper images. Generally speaking that means you'll be working with bitmap files, but as you might expect when pushing a decades-old file format into an application it was never intended for, things can get a little messy. Which is why [gfcwfzkm] has created the Portable Image File (PIF) format.
This low-overhead image format is designed specifically for microcontrollers, and can be decoded on devices with at least 60 bytes of free RAM. Images stored with PIF not only require fewer computational resources to process, but equally important, take up less space on flash. The format supports both color and monochrome images, and the GitHub repo even includes a graphical Python 3.10 tool that lets you convert your images to either .pif files or a .h header file for embedding directly into your C code.
[gfcwfzkm] has provided some source code to show you how to get the PIF library up and running, but as of the time of this writing, there isn't any example code for using PIF within the Arduino environment. That's no big deal for the old hands in the audience, but we're interested in seeing how the community can make use of this file format once it's available in a bit more beginner-friendly package. It's one of the final unchecked items on the todo list though, so it shouldn't be long now.
Of course nothing is wrong with using bitmaps to display images in your microcontroller projects, and there's a certain advantage to fiddling around with the well-known image format. But if a new file type is all it takes to speed up access times and cram a few more images onto the chip, we're definitely ready to upgrade.

Is it a good idea to start replace PNGs in my website by WebP now that support is there, or should I wait for AVIF to be more widely deployed? AVIF is better than WebP and is now supported with the last version of Firefox, but still isn't supported by Safari. Obviously, I'm going to fallback to PNG anyway using the `<picture>` element.

Firefox 86 Will Support Next-Gen Image Format by Default
Firefox will support the new AVIF image format by default from next month. A bug report reveals Mozilla devs plan to ship Firefox 86, due in February 2020, with out-of-the-box support for AVIF images. AVIF :sys_more_orange:
