- JPEG uses lossy compression. We encode it at quality 95 out of 100, so the difference is normally invisible.

When to choose JPEG instead of APNG
Choose JPEG for photos, social media, email and web pages where small file size matters. Its main limit: it has no transparency, and saving a JPG again and again slowly lowers quality.
Stay with APNG if you need full-color animations with smooth transparency.
