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 XL
JXL (JPEG XL) is a next-generation image format with excellent compression, lossless JPEG re-encoding, transparency and animation. It can dramatically shrink files while keeping high quality.
Strengths
- Outstanding compression and quality
- Lossless and lossy modes
- Transparency and animation support
Limitations
- Limited browser support so far
- Few editors handle it yet
- Still an emerging format
Best for: Future-proof, high-efficiency storage — converted to JPG, PNG or WebP for compatibility today.
