[. . . ] Although the image quality deteriorates a little, images can be compressed to a smaller file size than with TIFF and other formats. 103 104 Lossless rotation Because JPEG uses irreversible compression (data are lost during compression), the quality of JPEG images deteriorates when uncompressed, rotated and then saved. Lossless rotation, however, can be used to rotate JPEG images without recompressing the data. Images for which lossless rotation is performed are processed as separate files; the rotated image appears after the image file is saved. PNG format Images saved using this format can be compressed to a small file size, but the reversible compression of this format makes the file size larger than JPEG. [. . . ]
