Which "lossless" image type is particularly appropriate for Web pages but not for print purposes?

The appropriate image type for Web pages that is classified as "lossless" is PNG. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is designed to handle images with high detail and quality without losing any information, making it ideal for web use where clarity and sharpness are important. This is especially relevant for graphics, logos, and images with transparency, as PNG supports a wider color palette and various transparency options compared to other formats.

In contrast, PNG is not typically used for print purposes because other formats, such as TIFF or higher-resolution JPEGs, are better suited for print due to their color management and higher resolution. While PNG files can be printed, they might not offer the same quality and color depth that is often required for professional print outputs.

Other formats, like JPEG, are lossy and compromise image quality for smaller file sizes, which is often acceptable for web use but not for high-quality print jobs. GIF, while also lossless but limited to a palette of 256 colors, is better suited for simple graphics and animations rather than detailed images or print. BMP is a bitmap format that, while high-quality, results in large file sizes and does not compress images efficiently for web usage. Thus, PNG stands out as the most appropriate choice for web applications
