Are you sure you don't have that backwards? JPG is a lossy compression format while PNG is a lossless compression format. PNG images therefore contain ALL the data about an image (including support for transparency) while a JPG compresses an image while losing some data but does so in a way that is (usually) unnoticeable to the human eye.

While that is true, It all depends on how you compress it. If you compress a jpeg a lot then of course it will be smaller than a PNG. Jpegs can handle quite a bit more colors (16.7 mil to be exact) But take my sig for example, If i save it as a jpeg at max quality it comes out to 73.6kb, if i save it as a png max quality it comes out to 58.2. Like i said it all comes down to compression.
EDIT: So my first post was wrong because i failed to realize while converting it, it was getting compressed as well.

I see what you're saying, but I'm guessing most people don't use a photo editing program that allows you to save a JPG at such a high quality (such as photoshop). Instead, programs such as paint use a fair amount of compression when saving a JPG and therefore (usually) result in a smaller file size.
For example, I saved your sig using paint as a PNG and as a JPG. The result was a 17.3KB JPG and a 73.6KB PNG.
To get back on topic, why not just leave your files as the larger PNGs and upload them to a site such as www.imgur.com? You can save yourself the extra step of having to convert them
Just a suggestion, awesome creation though :D

yeap, i could do that, but i think about that ppl who has a 1mb connection, just think "charging 30 photos of 500/700kb" NO WAY, i think that every time :D
other thing is that i know my server will allways stay up, dont have advertising, its fast, and the pics are in the post :D
thanks por the last thing !!
Luminaeus:
There's two versions of PNG.
Old version works like a color indexed GIF. New version works like a lossless JPG.
