Honestly, I don’t consider JFIF to be a good format. It’s poorly extensible and requires hacks like byte stuffing to work properly. I much prefer PNG personally

Honestly, I don’t consider JFIF to be a good format. It’s poorly extensible and requires hacks like byte stuffing to work properly. I much prefer PNG personally - it’s highly extensible via fourcc codes and doesn’t require weird hacks.
- userbinator 8y agoI'm not sure why you consider byte stuffing a "hack", because it's a great way to make the codestream self-synchronising and easily decoded by hardware. It's also used a lot in video formats, because it enables easy seeking.
