About the formats

PNG

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.

JPG

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.
