31.1.4 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.
