JBIG at a glance

JBIG

Convert to JBIG when compressing monochrome scanned documents, line art, or text-heavy page imagery where bi-level efficiency matters.

It is useful for document-imaging pipelines rather than everyday photo delivery.

ALAC at a glance

ALAC

Convert to ALAC when you need lossless music storage or delivery in an Apple-friendly format, especially for personal libraries, hi-fi playback, or archives that sync across Apple devices.

It is appropriate when quality must be preserved but uncompressed AIFF or WAV would be unnecessarily large.

For broader non-Apple-centric archival exchange, FLAC is often the more neutral choice.
