An image hosting service allows individuals to upload images to an Internet website.

The image host will then store the image onto its server, and show the individual different types of code to allow others to view that image.

The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF or) is a bitmap image format that was developed by US-based software writer Steve Wilhite while working at the internet service provider CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.

PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most widely used lossless image compression format on the Internet.

Lossless compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.

By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only of an approximation of the original data, though this usually improves compression rates (and therefore reduces file sizes).

JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography.

The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.

JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.
