      Excuse me, I forgot the text. Wouldn’t be fair without all that entropy. To make up for it, I turned on chroma subsampling. This one is 39 KiB.

        To be more accurate, the dithering was more specific to animated gifs and not static pictures. Unless you go back really far… I remember finding porn on 5 inch floppies my dad had in his closet and even the non-animated images were black & white and dithered to hell. Though I am pretty sure he didn’t obtain those off the internet.

        I turned on chroma subsampling

        A simplified polygonal scene, originally from Futurama scene that's styled like anime. Fry is saying "You and I are enemies now." while pointing at a jpegified Professor Farnsworth. Meta note: The scene was made in the Godot game engine.

        43KiB, though obviously a chunk of that is from the colors of the jpg Professor.

        EDIT: I just noticed webp messes with colors around the edges too (which would matter more if I cut the resolution in half or so). The original .png (what I actually uploaded) doesn’t at 51.6KiB.

        Also obviously this would be less data in non-pixel format (well, it’d likely be eaten up by overhead for packaging, though after that it would allow tons of art for negligible data cost). Would be smaller as an svg for example (or an swf).

        Dithering is much older than jpeg.

        They used dithering in printed media, so it was transfered to digital media as a way to save on color depth, before jpeg got invented.
