JPG vs PNG vs WEBP: which image format should you use?

20 أكتوبر 2026 · 1 دقائق قراءة · Team

Picking the right image format makes files smaller and keeps them looking good.

JPG — for photos

JPG uses lossy compression that is very efficient for photographs. It does not support transparency. Use it for camera photos and exam uploads.

PNG — for logos, screenshots and transparency

PNG is lossless and supports transparent backgrounds. Text in screenshots stays crisp. Photos saved as PNG are usually much larger than JPG.

WEBP — for websites

WEBP supports both lossy and lossless compression and transparency, and is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality. All modern browsers support it.
