About these formats

What is a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file? .png

PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency (alpha). It preserves crisp edges and exact pixels, making it ideal for UI graphics, logos, and screenshots.

Best for: graphics with text, sharp lines, transparency. Trade‑off: larger than JPEG/WebP for photos.

MIME: image/png

What is a JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file? .jpg,.jpeg

JPEG is a lossy format optimized for photographs. It achieves small file sizes by discarding fine detail that is hard to perceive.

  • Best for: photos.
  • Limitations: no transparency; re‑saving repeatedly can introduce artifacts.

MIME: image/jpeg

What is a WebP (Web Picture) file? .webp

WebP is a modern image format offering both lossy and lossless compression, usually producing smaller files than JPEG and PNG at similar quality.

Best for: the web when you want smaller images. Notes: older tools may lack WebP editing/export support.

MIME: image/webp
