JPG, PNG and WebP: which image format should you use?

Choose a format based on transparency, photographic detail and how you will share the image.

JPG is useful for photographs and broad compatibility. PNG is often the better choice for screenshots, crisp graphics and transparency. WebP can reduce file size for websites while supporting lossy and lossless modes. The best format depends on your image and the receiving application; always compare the resulting quality and size before replacing an original.

For a practical starting point, browse the Toolnook library and choose the workflow that fits your task. Review the output before relying on it, especially for official or high-stakes work.
