JPG / JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

Best for: Photographs, portraits, and complex scenery.

  • Pros: Small file size. Universal compatibility.
  • Cons: "Lossy" compression (quality degrades with each save). No transparency support.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

Best for: Logos, screenshots, icons, and text-heavy images.

  • Pros: "Lossless" quality (crisp edges). Supports Transparency (alpha channel).
  • Cons: Larger file sizes, especially for photos.

WebP (Google's Web Format)

Best for: Modern websites and apps.

  • Pros: The best of both worlds. 25-35% smaller than JPGs with the same quality. Supports transparency.
  • Cons: Not supported by very old browsers (Internet Explorer), but works on all modern devices.
