Hi Desi

Jpegs and other files can be 
produced with high quality (for example
for printing)
To display on screen, in emails and in web pages
they can be  compressed from 1500k to 30k or even 15k
without any discernible difference for most people.

PNG also has this compression ability

The otter image is probably (having no graduated colour)
better suited to the gif format
which will probably be the easiest way of making it smaller

On the whole you need only 2 image formats

Jpg (for photos)
gif for single tone (logos for example) images

and these two are merging in the emerging PNG format

So now you need one format . . .
