    damn right

    png always has better quality unless u save a jpg at 100% quality, then they will have the same quality

    I use jpg with 60-80% compression. I see no difference from that and PNG.. To me, the masses just say "PNG" is the best with "higher quality".. ya but the human eye cannot tell the difference between a compressed jpg with 80% and a PNG version. It's the SAME THING.
    So I just use jpg and only png for transparent ones.

    .PNG is much better.

    Try this

    Make a tag, and save it as a .JPG. Then open the .JPG, and save as a .JPG, keep doing this, and after not to long, the Picture will be terrible.

    A PNG is saved as full quality, and does not degrade.

    A .JPG compresses your file, and takes away colors not visible byu the human eye.

    Though a .PNG will have a bigger file size, it is always the best option

    at first i always used .jpeg format to save but now i always save in a.png format. the quality is better especially when a work contains a lot of detail.

    a 100% quality .jpg or .jpeg has the same quality as a .png
