JPG vs PNG vs WebP

The best format depends on the image and where you plan to use it. Resizing can also convert between these three browser-friendly formats.

JPG

JPG is a practical choice for photographs and complex images where smaller files matter. It uses lossy compression and does not support transparency.

PNG

PNG is useful for screenshots, graphics, sharp text, and images that need transparent areas. It uses lossless compression, which can create larger files for photographs.

WebP

WebP is designed for efficient web images and can support photographic compression and transparency. It is a strong default for modern websites, while another format may be easier for older or specialized software.
