JPG vs PNG vs WebP
JPG, PNG, and WebP each solve a different image problem.
The best format depends on whether you need small file size, crisp edges, transparency, or broad compatibility.

JPG is usually a good fit for photos because it compresses gradients and natural detail well.
It is not a good format for transparency, and repeated saves can degrade quality.
Use PNG for transparency and sharp edges
PNG is useful for screenshots, logos, UI captures, and transparent images.
The tradeoff is file size. PNG files can become large when they contain photo-like detail.
Use WebP for smaller website assets
WebP often creates smaller files than JPG or PNG while keeping acceptable visual quality.
For website images, WebP is usually worth testing when your target browsers support it.
