Bitmap Jpeg

If you choose Bitmap your help files will be considerably smaller then when you choose Jpeg. The reason is that HTML Help Workshop is very good at compressing bitmaps.

Select Jpeg if you want to use the HTML files for both the Help file AND for your website. Jpegs are much smaller then bitmaps and pages with Jpegs load much faster. Web visitors hate slow loading pages.
