Firstly, Picture2Web is essentially a web-authoring program, as opposed to a graphics program. The only graphics manipulation we do is in regard to thumbnail creation. The other functions such as resizing and conversion are really variations of just this one function. We decided to introduce these because we thought it would make life a little bit easier for our users, with only a little extra effort. Secondly, jpeg and gif are the most (if not the only) used formats on web sites. There should really be no need to use any other formats. Some browsers may also have difficulty in rendering other formats. We have no plans to introduce other formats at the moment, but should another format emerge as a popular standard, we will naturally reconsider our decision.
