JPEG format: how lossy photo compression works
JPEG is the standard format for photographs on the web. It uses lossy compression to reach small file sizes, which is ideal for continuous-tone images but a poor fit for sharp-edged graphics or transparency.
PNG format: lossless images with transparency
PNG is a lossless raster format built for crisp graphics, screenshots, and images that need transparency. It preserves every pixel exactly, at the cost of larger files than lossy formats for photographic content.
WebP format: modern web images, lossy or lossless
WebP is a modern web image format from Google that offers both lossy and lossless compression, alpha transparency, and animation. It aims to serve the roles of JPEG, PNG, and GIF in a single, well-supported format.
MP4 format: the container behind most modern video
MP4 is a container format that wraps compressed video and audio streams. Paired with the H.264 video codec and AAC audio, it is the most broadly compatible way to deliver video across browsers, phones, and players.
