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.
SVG vector
SVG is an XML-based vector format that scales to any size without losing sharpness. It is ideal for logos, icons and illustrations, and can be styled and animated with CSS.
Strengths
- Infinitely scalable, always crisp
- Tiny files for flat graphics
- Editable and styleable as code
Limitations
- Not suitable for photographs
- Complex art can get heavy
- Needs rasterising for some uses
Best for: Logos, icons and illustrations that must stay razor-sharp at every size.
