Image Format Guide

The best image format depends on the image content. Photos, screenshots, icons, and logos have different needs.

JPEG

JPEG works well for photos and complex images. It usually creates small files, but repeated saving can reduce quality.

PNG

PNG is useful for screenshots, sharp edges, and transparency. It can be larger for photos.

WebP

WebP is a good modern web format with strong compression. Check compatibility if your audience uses older software.

SVG

SVG is best for simple vector logos and icons. Avoid embedding sensitive text or private metadata inside SVG files.
