JPG Is Still Useful For Photos
JPG is widely supported and works well for photographs, but it can be heavier than modern formats at similar visual quality.
PNG Is Best For Transparency And Screenshots
PNG keeps sharp edges and transparency, but large PNG photos often become unnecessarily heavy.
WebP And AVIF Are Built For The Web
WebP has broad browser support and AVIF can compress even further in modern browsers. Use both with fallbacks when compatibility matters.
