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.
JPEG 2000
JP2 (JPEG 2000) is an advanced image format offering both lossy and lossless compression with better quality than classic JPEG. It is used in archiving, medical imaging and cinema, but has limited everyday support.
Strengths
- Better quality than JPEG at the same size
- Lossless and lossy modes
- Strong for archival and medical imaging
Limitations
- Almost no browser support
- Limited consumer-app support
- Slower to encode/decode
Best for: Archival, medical and cinema imaging — converted to JPG or PNG for everyday sharing.
