Re: Website images

GIF and JPEG are definitely the most widely recognized by all browsers. PNG
is usually OK. I think that BMP is not only too large having no compression
but, as you say, a proprietary format so I steer clear of them.

IMO, even though JPEG is good. nothing beats a GIF with a well optimised
palette.
