Heavily compressed you say

Cat 1: “Do you think we should scale up the image?”
Cat 2: “Nah, I think it’s funny when people can’t read it and get all frustrated.”
Cat 3: “I guess I’ll never know what this meme says.”
Cat 4: “JPEG!”

JPEGs bad reputation results only from platforms automatically compressing things with very bad presets. Just saying.
- im a png elitist.
  
  I had someone in a marketing department send me a logo in a .bmp once.
  I was embarrassed for them.
  
  Png is cool, but have you considered .cr2?

Is this loss?

Repeat after me:
JPEG is for photos, PNG is for graphics.

Found a version with more pixels:

Doesn't need any more JPEG

Do I look like I know what a jay-peg is??

Is this loss?
No really is it? I can't tell
- It's very lossy
- Nope. Not the loss format.

I bet it still takes more storage than an SVG that would even show the text properly.
- So, one of the guys at work just exported graphics for one of our marketing sites as SVG, and it became a 3.5 MB monstrosity that would be orders of magnitude smaller if he had just exported it as a JPEG or even a PNG.
  
  Well, if you are tracing the JPEG to make an SVG, instead of using the source SVG, that will happen.
  Or if you try to convert an actual picture (unlike the thing in the post) into SVG.
  Or if for some reason, you just have to use 50 different non-system fonts for a 4 panel.
  But hey, now at least you can scale it up to 9999K

The funny thing is that this is a WebP.
