What is the best image file type for a mobi site?

The goal with mobile sites is to keep file size to a minimum. At least for countries like the US where there are serious bandwidth issues.

The most common image file types I use are .gif, .png, .jpeg

If you are dealing with a "photo" type image then you are best to use .jpeg to get decent quality.

For "cartoon" style or text images you are better to go with .gif or .png. The .png usually results in a smaller file size then a .gif.

If your "map" is a satellite image I would go with .jpeg, otherwise I would go with .gif or .png.

Hope that helps.
