JPG vs PNG vs WebP: Which Should You Use?

Three formats, three jobs. Here is the simple way to choose.

JPG - best for photos

JPG compresses photos well and is supported everywhere. Use it for photographs and images with many colors. Quality settings of 75-85% look great but keep files small.

PNG - best for logos and transparency

PNG keeps every detail and supports transparent backgrounds. Use it for logos, icons, text and screenshots. PNG files are larger, so avoid it for big photos.

WebP - best for the web

WebP gives excellent quality at a small file size and supports transparency too. Modern browsers all support it. If you control the website, WebP is usually the smartest choice.
