- - - - Lossless compression
      - Animation is supported with animated GIFs
      - Transparency is supported
      - colour depth is 256 colours (8 bit depth)
        
        Less colours makes it unsuitable for photographs but are instead used for cartoon images and animations
    - - Transparency is not supported
      - Colour depth is 16,777,216 Colours (24 bit depth)
        
        This makes it suitable for photographs
      - Animation is not supported
      - Lossy compression
        
        This means fewer colours are stored but its usually not noticeable
        
        This means the quality is not as good as if it was a PNG file
    - - Transparency is supported
      - Lossless compression
      - Colour depth is 16,777,216 Colours (24 bit depth)
        
        This makes it suitable for photographs
      - Animation is only supported with extensions like APNG or MNG
- - - - This can be lowered to make the file size smaller but it would also reduce the quality of sounds as there is less data
  - - - This means that the file size will be smaller than if it was a WAV file
    - - This can be lowered to make the file size smaller but it would also reduce the quality of sounds as there is less data
- - - - When a media file is compressed some of the original data is lost
    - - Files are normally larger than lossy files as none of the original data is lost
