  • JPEG: The JPEG format is smaller than the BMP format, so JPEG images are displayed more quickly. However, JPEG images have lower quality compared to BMP or PNG. This format is useful if the graphs contain gradient effects because gradients are displayed correctly in JPG, without requiring large file sizes.
  • PNG: This image format is a smaller image format than BMP, and offers high-quality images. However, PNG files are generally larger than JPEG files.
