Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The wiki says that the images which can be uploaded should be JPEG.

This is a bad choice:

  • JPEG is designed for (quasi)continuous colour space. The tags have discrete colours (two, three or four). JPEG is not designed for that.
  • JPEG creates artifacts.
  • Lossless formats are both smaller AND without artifacts with discrete colour space.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support lossless image format.

Low level like pbm, high level like PNG, or embedded-friendly like QOI, or something else.

Your choice. But lossless.
