Pros and Cons with various lossy formats

JPEG is well suited for Photographic or Continuos Tone ImagesPros: JPEG gives a small file without visual loss and is an International StandardCons: Artifacts around edges (blurring) or in smoothly graduated large areas (Banding).Note: Background removal or changing the background to transparent is not recommended.

GIF is well suited for 8 bit color images (Icons or Logos), drawings and textPros: GIF gives a small file size and uses a lossless compression schemeCons: Loss of colors if used for a full color file (pixelation). Not supported by some applications due to Unisys’ patent claim for the LZW compression scheme.

TIFF is a comprehensive format and provides an excellent result for any image typePros: TIFF has many flavors and a good combination of compression schemes and color modes.Cons: Only a subset of the modes are supported in many applications The many choices makes it more time consuming to secure the optimal result.
