JPG vs PNG
JPG and PNG are both common image formats, but they are best for different jobs. The right choice depends on whether you care more about file size, sharp graphics, transparency, or editing stability.
When JPG is the better choice
JPG is usually better for photos, blog images, email attachments, and lightweight web publishing.
It keeps files smaller and is widely accepted across apps, websites, and office tools.
When PNG is the better choice
PNG is better for logos, diagrams, screenshots, transparent graphics, and files you may keep editing.
It is especially useful when sharp edges, text clarity, or transparency matter more than raw file size.
A simple way to decide
Choose JPG for photos and smaller files. Choose PNG for graphics, screenshots, transparency, and editing workflows.
Many teams also edit in PNG first and export lighter formats later for delivery.
