Pros and cons of .tiff vs .png

[teksts]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to tesseract (and to programming work in general), and am trying to get my bearings. Almost everything I have seen recommends/assumes that I feed .tiff files into tesseract to be ocr'd, but I recently came across some posts suggesting that .png is less finicky, and might be better to use. What are the pros and cons of each filetype? Does it make much of a difference? Can I use .png for training purposes as well?

Thanks for your time

There's a few Wiki pages that cover some of this.

You can see the pages that have "png" mentioned by doing a search on Github and then filtering on Wiki (instead of default Code)

Here's the filtered result pages from the Wiki that talk about "png".
