JPG or PNG? Which file format is right for my image?
It’s best to use JPG for photos or complex images when you need smaller file sizes—think travel pictures or event shots. PNG is your best bet for graphics with sharp lines, text, or when you need transparent backgrounds, such as logos, icons, or screenshots. If you first need to create a transparent background for an image, you can use Wixel's free transparent background maker.
Are PNGs a higher quality than JPGs?
It depends on your needs. PNGs and JPGs use different types of compression that affect images in different ways. PNGs use lossless compression to preserve every detail, making them ideal for graphics, sharp lines and transparency. JPGs use lossy compression to reduce file size, making them great for photos and complex images, though some quality may be lost.
