Choosing the right image format can make your website load faster, a photo look better or a logo keep its transparent background. In this guide we explain in simple terms when to use WebP, JPG or PNG and how to convert your images for free in seconds.
WebP, JPG and PNG: key differences
- JPG: ideal for photographs. Very compatible, good balance of quality and size, but no transparency.
- PNG: perfect for logos, screenshots and images with a transparent background. Heavier than JPG.
- WebP: Google's modern format. Much smaller at similar quality and supports transparency; great for fast websites.
Which one should I pick for my case?
If you are uploading photos to a website and care about speed, convert to WebP. If you need maximum compatibility to email or print, use JPG. And if you work with logos, icons or images that need a transparent background, stick with PNG (or WebP, which also supports it).
