"When PNG is better than JPG and vice versa: sometimes you just don't want to compress an image with JPG. As I mentioned earlier, if you really need transparency JPG is out. But also we've discovered small and simple images may actually compress better using PNG than JPG. It seems to depend on how much is "going on" in the image. PNG works best for vector type graphics with hard lines. JPG works best for anything with complex gradients (e.g., a photo)."
- So, for small images use .PNG... For full screen backgrounds and the like, go .JPG...ideaist
