Format Guide

JPG vs PNG vs WebP

Pick the right format by use case instead of guesswork.

JPG is ideal for camera images and complex visuals where small file size matters most. Use moderate compression for web galleries and blogs.

PNG supports alpha transparency and crisp edges, making it useful for logos, UI assets, screenshots, and overlays.

WebP often delivers better compression than JPG/PNG and is great for page speed when browser compatibility targets are modern.

What Each Format Is Best At

Pick based on the image’s job: photos, UI, or performance.

Excellent for photos, gradients, and complex scenes. Small files for web galleries and blog content.

Perfect for sharp edges, text, and transparency. Great for logos, UI elements, and screenshots.

Modern choice for fast websites. Often smaller files while keeping detail, especially for mixed photo + graphic assets.

Avoid these and your outputs will look “right” the first time.

JPG cannot store transparent pixels. If you need a transparent background, use PNG or WebP.

Low quality JPG can create halos around text and UI lines. Use PNG or increase quality if readability matters.

Oversized images stay heavy even with compression. Resize to your actual display size before tuning quality.

Use these baselines, then adjust visually.

Begin at a medium quality value and export a sample. Look at faces, gradients, and fine textures.

Increase quality slightly if you see artifacts, or lower it if the file is larger than needed and quality is already acceptable.

Once it looks right, apply the same format + quality to the entire set and export a ZIP for consistency.
