Different image formats serve different purposes. Choosing the right format can significantly impact image quality, file size, and compatibility.

When to use each format:

• JPG/JPEG: Best for photographs and complex images with many colors. Offers good compression but is lossy (some quality is lost).
• PNG: Ideal for images with transparency, sharp edges, or text. Lossless but results in larger files than JPG.
• WebP: Modern format that offers better compression than both JPG and PNG while supporting transparency. Great for web use but has limited support in older browsers.
• GIF: Best for simple animations and images with few colors. Limited to 256 colors, so not suitable for photographs.
• BMP: Uncompressed format that preserves all image data. Results in very large files and is rarely used on the web.
