PNG vs WebP
PNG and WebP are both common web image formats, but they solve slightly different problems. The better choice depends on whether you care more about editing stability, transparency, compatibility, or smaller files.
When PNG is a better fit
PNG is often better for logos, diagrams, screenshots, transparent graphics, and source files you still plan to edit.
It is easy to work with in many design and content workflows.
When WebP is a better fit
WebP is usually better when you want smaller files for web delivery while keeping decent image quality.
It works well for both photos and many graphics in modern browser environments.
How to choose
Use PNG when editing and compatibility matter most. Use WebP when page speed and smaller delivery files matter most.
A common workflow is to keep a PNG source file and publish a lighter WebP version.
