BMP is by far the largest file size. JPEGS can be encoded with different levels of compression from large but better quality to small but blurry.

In general PNG should give you the best quality to filesize ratio (if I'm not mistaken, someone correct me if I'm wrong,) which I think is why the new version of the game is moving to that format.
