 Unless it's a JPEG 2000 (which isn't web-safe) then it's lossy

I've never heard the term "web-safe" applied to images. What do you mean
by that? Lack of browser support? Breaks the web-safe 216 colour
palette?

Cheers,
Rob.


The term "web-safe" when applied to images was a misnomer -- there was no such thing.

It originally pertained to certain colors that were consider staples of browsers, such as red, white, blue, cornflowerblue, and so. I think there was 256 of them -- but I may be wrong.

In any event, of those considered "web-safe" there were very few of those that were actually the same color when viewed across different browsers. So, truly "web-safe" colors were just a handful.

Cheers,
