JPEG: Lossy compression algorithm for still images, widely used on the web and in digital cameras.
PNG: Lossless compression algorithm for still images, supports transparency and is suitable for web graphics and logos.
GIF: Lossless compression algorithm for still images and animations, supports transparency and is commonly used for web graphics.
WebP: Modern lossy compression algorithm for still images, provides better compression than JPEG with comparable quality.
HEIC: High-efficiency image file format, provides lossy and lossless compression for still images.

MPEG-4 Part 2 (H.264): Widely used lossy compression algorithm for video, provides high compression ratios with good quality.
HEVC (H.265): Successor to H.264, provides even higher compression ratios with comparable quality.
VP9: Open-source lossy compression algorithm for video, developed by Google.
