PNG vs JPG vs WebP: Which Image Format Should You Choose?
Pick the right image format for small files and sharp pictures.
Images come in several formats, and choosing the wrong one can make a file bigger than needed or lose detail.
How they differ
- JPG: suits photos and is usually small, but has no transparency.
- PNG: keeps every detail and supports transparency, suiting logos and graphics, but files are larger.
- WebP: is often smaller than JPG at similar quality, but some programs and browsers don't fully support it.
