Here’s a summary of the seven main image extensions you can use, depending on your needs:
- JPEG: Ideal for photos and complex images.
- PNG: Best for graphics and logos with transparency.
- GIF: Primarily used for animations.
- TIFF: Used in high-quality printing and preserving details.
- SVG: Scalable vector format, great for responsive icons and graphics.
- BMP: An older format, still useful in environments that require uncompressed images.
- WEBP: A modern format that offers a good balance between quality and compression, recommended by Google.
Each format has its advantages, and the right choice depends on factors like image purpose, desired quality, and file size limitations.
