The up to date widespread image standard on the web is jpg but a new format, the BPG comes to replace it.
According to the first cmpriceBPG is a standard codificationof image which will offer the quality of JPEG, with half the need in volume. The BPG standard stands for Better Portable Graphics, δηλαδή καλύτερα φορητά γραφικά. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι παρόλο που θα γίνεται συμπίεση των εικόνων, αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι θα μειώνεται η ποιότητα, όπως συμβαίνει σε πολύ συμπιεσμένα archives Jpeg.
One of the advantages of the BPG standard is that there may be a lack of background, as is the case with PNG files, and in order to be able to appear on a website, they require the incorporation of a 55 KB decoder to be able to be viewed correctly.
It is difficult to tell if the BPG standard will replace the widespread JPEG, especially if one thinks he is doing his job well enough to meet the needs of online image viewing. However, it remains an interesting proposition that we may be seeing more and more in the future, as requirements for data compression and maintaining the best possible quality will be increased.
