About the formats

AI

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.

WEBP

WebP image

WebP is a modern Google format that delivers both lossy and lossless compression with transparency and animation. It typically produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG at the same quality.

Strengths

  • Smaller than JPG and PNG at similar quality
  • Supports transparency and animation
  • Great for fast-loading web pages

Limitations

  • Not supported by some older software
  • Less universal than JPG for sharing
  • Limited print workflow support

Best for: Web images where page speed matters — photos, graphics and simple animations alike.
