Common image formats explained
- PNG (Portable Network Graphics): Best for images with transparency, logos, icons, and graphics with sharp edges. Supports lossless compression and alpha channel transparency.
- JPG/JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): Best for photographs and images with many colors. Uses lossy compression, resulting in smaller file sizes but some quality loss.
- WEBP: Modern format developed by Google. Offers better compression than PNG and JPG, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, plus transparency.
When to use each format
