On [[Texas Power Rankings/Austin Power Rankings]] why did you remove my .png upload with a .jpg upload [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Texas_Power_Rankings/Austin_Power_Rankings&diff=1659456&oldid=1659454 here]? I uploaded in .png because .jpg loses data with its lossy compression. --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 08:00, June 14, 2022 (EDT) | On [[Texas Power Rankings/Austin Power Rankings]] why did you remove my .png upload with a .jpg upload [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Texas_Power_Rankings/Austin_Power_Rankings&diff=1659456&oldid=1659454 here]?

:Seems the reason he did that was because the original file was a jpeg. Though there is some advantage to converting jpegs to pngs when downscaled for articles, as this won't produce further compression artifacts. jpegs generally look better at the original resolution than a scaled down resolution, while with pngs aside from the obvious downgrade of having fewer pixels, there isn't really much further degradation.

: (at work and forgot to update my autofill) The image in the tweet that was linked is a JPG. If I recall I think I saw JPG artifacts in your PNG upload, meaning the JPG was converted to PNG. PNG prefers smooth transitions and JPG is inherently noisy, making a PNG'd JPG worse than a normal PNG in terms of file size. I uploaded straight from the source link so there wouldn't be any further artifacting from resaving it. If you have a file that is originally PNG and not converted from JPG then I say go ahead and replace it; if it is still too big in filesize, you can use FileOptimizer to further compress while being lossless. But for now I would say the JPG upload is best because it is 1:1 with the source in quality and size. [[Special:Contributions/172.58.146.36|172.58.146.36]] 08:45, June 14, 2022 (EDT) | |||
