About the formats
Adobe Illustrator artwork
AI is Adobe Illustrator's native vector format, used by designers for logos, icons and illustrations. Modern AI files are PDF-compatible, so they can be rasterised to an image or, where supported, traced back to clean vectors.
Strengths
- Editable, resolution-independent vectors
- Industry standard for professional design
- PDF-compatible under the hood
Limitations
- Needs Illustrator or a converter to open
- Not viewable in browsers or most apps
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Opening or previewing designer artwork — usually converted to PNG, SVG or JPG to share.
JPEG image
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used photo format on the web. Its lossy compression shrinks photographs to small files that open everywhere, from browsers to cameras and phones.
Strengths
- Very small files for photos
- Opens on virtually every device and app
- Adjustable quality vs. size trade-off
Limitations
- Lossy — quality drops on each re-save
- No transparency support
- Visible artefacts on text, lines and flat colour
Best for: Photographs and complex images for the web, email and social media where small file size matters most.
