Each image format has its own strengths and weaknesses. Using the correct one can significantly improve your website's performance and visual quality.

Common Formats Explained

JPEG: Best for photographs due to its excellent compression. It's a "lossy" format, meaning it sacrifices some quality for a smaller file size.
PNG: Best for graphics with sharp lines or transparency. It's "lossless," so it retains all quality but results in a larger file size.
WebP: A modern format that offers superior compression to both JPEG and PNG, but has less browser support.
GIF: Best for simple animations.
