JPEG is best for compressing photos and images for the web due to its ability to resize photos while maintaining quality, though it is limited to 256 colors. GIF is suitable for simple images like graphics and logos with solid colors due to its 256 color limitation, making it unsuitable for detailed photos. PNG was created to replace and improve upon GIF as a patent-free format, supporting more color depths and image types for internet use.
