title: For android development can I use JPG image instead of PNG image on image views?
body: <p>The main purpose of this question is to know what is the best option to choose between PNG and JPG for android development considering the following scenarios</p>
  
  <p>1) is it a good option to use jpg image as background?
  2) Will .jpg image take more time to load compared to .png?
  3) Will .jpg take more time for rendering/loading compare to .png?</p>
  
  <p>I have seen big difference in image size when we are using png images.</p>
  
  <p>One of my .png image size is <strong>4.1 MBs</strong> and that same image with .jpg image format the size is reduced to <strong>2.9MBs</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Need suggestion from Experts specially.</strong> </p>
  
  <p><strong>Info:</strong> To reduce app size. i am still compressing images by using <a href="http://compresspng.com" rel="noreferrer">compress png</a> and <a href="http://compressjpeg.com/" rel="noreferrer">compress jpeg</a> </p>
  
  <p>Image size difference is huge. ie. 4.1 MBs png -> 2.9 MBs jpg after compressing it reduced to <strong>654.6 KBs</strong>..</p>
  
  <p>To set image as <strong>BACKGROUND</strong> i didn't found any issue...</p>
