About the formats
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.
PNG image
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It keeps every pixel exact, which makes it the go-to choice for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges.
Strengths
- Lossless — perfect, repeatable quality
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text, lines and flat colour
Limitations
- Larger files than JPG for photos
- No native animation
- Not ideal for large photographic images
Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs transparency or pixel-perfect edges.
