About this tag
The lossless tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about lossless audio and image formats, including FLAC, PNG, and BMP. Users compare lossless formats like FLAC (around 1000 kbps) with lossy MP3 at various bitrates, debating audible differences on high-end home cinema systems. Other threads address issues with Windows 7 converting lossless PNG or BMP wallpapers into lossy JPEG, introducing artifacts, and audio glitches when playing lossless WMA files in Windows Media Player. A recent thread highlights XL Converter, a free open-source tool for lossless image optimization supporting AVIF and JPEG XL formats on Windows.

    Windows 7 Win7 can't use a lossless PNG or BMP as the Background, It makes it a lossy jpg!!

    I don't know why this happens but setting a perfect lossless PNG as a windows background does not yield that same image windows uses as the background. Somewhere along the line windows seems to re-save it as a jpg with lots of artifacts and jaggies before using it as wallpaper. Is there some...
