Both of these formats use lossless compression. JPG is lossy, and is intended for images with many colors (thousands or more) and without text or sharp borders between colors. When zooming in on the high resolution image, significant distortion is present. Since your images have a small number of colors, text, and abrupt transitions between colors, you should use PNG or GIF. JPG does not handle this type of image well.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,<br><br><div><span name="x"></span>Eric L.
