Hello everyone, I am in search of the optimal platform for uploading and downloading high-quality PNG images. In comparison to JPEG, is PNG still superior in picture quality?

I would love to get your opinions on which image format is the better option. I came across https://www.pngtank.com/, but I am unsure if it is a trustworthy website. Do you know of any other reliable options available?
Additionally, do you have any tips on how to enhance the quality of a PNG image?

JPEG, also known as JPG, is a lossy compressed image format that does not support transparency. It allows users to adjust the quality level of the saved image. Depending on the setting, JPG can provide compression ratios from 2:1 to 100:1, but the quality is directly proportional to the compression ratio. JPEG supports 24-bit RGB and CMYK color spaces, with integrated EXIF support.

PNG 24 is a lossless compressed image format that works with full-color images and maintains transparency. It is unsuitable for adjusting quality levels, but adapting the saved image makes it possible to achieve minimal file size. PNG 8 is more compact, but suitable for images with a limited number of colors. PNG 24 is optimal for images with a small number of colors, while JPEG is better for images with a large number of colors.
