Why not gif? It's basically a universal format. The file size is reasonable. And gif is lossless if you stay within a limited color palette, which this comic does.

For one, I can't zoom in on my phone.

Nor can I but I think that’s the fault of the app I’m using rather than it being a GIF.

Sync works too.

It's basically a universal format.

True, it even has "interchange" in the name!

CompuServe encouraged the adoption of GIF by providing downloadable conversion utilities for many computers. By December 1987, for example, an Apple IIGS user could view pictures created on an Atari ST or Commodore 64.

The pixelation I experienced would suggest this is not lossless.

I can't zoom in on sync.
