NOTES:
- JPEG images are anti-aliased.
- TIFF images can be compressed through external applications.
- Since they are typically smaller in
size than other image types and only support 2 colors, WBMP images will
naturally have a significantly smaller size.
- Interactivity for PNG is supported via
JavaScript and/or image maps.
- Interactivity for JPEG is supported via
JavaScript and/or image maps.
- With Best Image Fallback, browser support is irrelevant for
Flash or SVG, as the browser will automatically display the image
in the highest quality format available. Similarly,
Automatic PNG Detection feature makes browser support
irrelevant for PNG images.
- WBMP images are supported in 100% of
WAP browsers that can actually display images. They are not supported in
desktop browsers.
