The right image format depends on the content, transparency requirements, and where the result will be used. Choosing well helps preserve quality without creating unnecessarily large files.
JPG for photographs
JPG is widely compatible and efficient for photos. Because it uses lossy compression, repeated editing and saving can introduce visible artifacts.
PNG for transparency
PNG supports transparent backgrounds and sharp graphic edges. It is a strong choice for logos and interface assets, but photographs may produce larger files.
WEBP for the web
WEBP offers modern compression and can support transparency. It is often a good delivery format for websites when browser compatibility is not a concern.
