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.
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.
