Voyager images below from NSSDC PLANETARY IMAGE CATALOG

Image taken by Voyager 2
Io is seen in this image near the center of the frame in front of the southern hemisphere of Jupiter.
The image was taken on 25 June 1979 from a distance of 12 million km. Io's yellowish color is due to sulfur compounds.
Features as small as 200 km can be resolved in this image. Io is 3640 km in diameter, roughly the size of Earth's Moon,
and north is at 11:30. (Voyager 2, P-21719)

Voyager 1 image of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter in enhanced color to bring out details.
The Great Red Spot is about 12,000 km across its shortest dimension.
It has been known since 1610, when Galileo first observed it with his telescope.
It appears to be some sort of stable vortex in Jupiter's atmosphere.
North is at 1:00. (Voyager 1, P-21229)

Jupiter's Great Red Spot | Hayden Planetarium

This brief animation shows the motion of the clouds in the Jovian atmosphere.
Most notable is the dark, oval-shaped Great Red Spot. The animation was compiled from
blue filter images taken using the narrow-angle camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft
during seven rotations of Jupiter between October 1 and October 5, 2000.
The images reveal an area on Jupiter centered on the equator that extends about
50° north and south and covers 100° east-west (about a quarter of Jupiter's circumference).

From From NASA - Map of Jupiter's South
This map of Jupiter is the most detailed global color map of the planet ever produced. The round map is a polar stereographic projection that shows the south pole in the center of the map and the equator at the edge. It was constructed from images taken by Cassini on Dec. 11 and 12, 2000, as the spacecraft neared Jupiter during a flyby on its way to Saturn. The map shows a variety of colorful cloud features, including parallel reddish-brown and white bands, the Great Red Spot, multi-lobed chaotic regions, white ovals and many small vortices. Many clouds appear in streaks and waves due to continual stretching and folding by Jupiter's winds and turbulence. The bluish-gray features along the north edge of the central bright band are equatorial "hot spots," meteorological systems such as the one entered by NASA's Galileo probe. Small bright spots within the orange band north of the equator are lightning-bearing thunderstorms. The polar region shown here is less clearly visible because Cassini viewed it at an angle and through thicker atmospheric haze.
