Oh the Jpeg is just a thumbnails image. The icon set that you can download at either of those places is in a zip file that includes them in 4 different formats, Windows .ico format, Mac .icns format, Png and Gif all formats with alpha (with only one alpha value) so you can have them as you want them. Here I'm showing them with a blue background:
Also I updated the file just slightly to include the black & white icons in another separate folder as Gifs.
Or perhaps you meant that you guys don't like Jpegs for previews and if that is the case that could mean that you don't like them for the artifacts they produce or because you can't see the transparency with them. Ahh I see that that could be part of the pixelart culture.
Well as for compression artifacts I saved the thumbnails Jpegs with the 100 setting for compression which virtually eliminates most of the artifacts.
I know that a lot of people have the tendency to save Jpegs with too much compression but I save them with much higher quality settings and in this case at full to prevent as little distortion as possible and also I gave them now a blue background so you can see which ones are transparent and which ones are not and you can see the transparency that I gave them.
Anyway I used a single Jpeg thumbnail because I was posting this whole icon set and if I want to post later a more elaborate pixelart I can post it in Gif or any other format like Png even though with Png I only use the full alpha value with pixelart as if it was the Gif format.
I could also make a larger single Gif or Png for thumbnails images if pixel artists prefer that.
