About the formats
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.
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
