JPG - JPG, or JPEG format is a lossy compression method of rasterising an image. It works by compressing clusters of colours together in order to make the image size smaller. It also does not support an alpha layer.
PNG - PNG is a lossless compression method of rasterising an image. It is similar to JPG but has the advantage of supporting an alpha layer. This results in a smaller file size but not quite as small as a JPG file would be. DDS - DDS is a file format which is similar to PNG, but also supports multiple different types of compression, from lossy ones to lossless ones. Depending on the type of compression you choose, you can either have an alpha layer or not. DDS is the most versatile and preferred file format for game engines and is used in both the Gamebryo engine, which powers games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion, and also the Unreal Engine, which powers games like Bioshock and Splinter Cell. TGA - TGA is a file format that is used a lot in games, and is very similar to PNG. GIF - the GIF image format is mostly used in web design, it is also used prominently in memes.
