JPG, PNG, or WebP: which file should you send?

JPG, PNG, or WebP: which file should you send?

Photos, screenshots, and logos do not want the same format. Pick from the job, not the habit.

The format is a choice about what the file is for. JPG throws away detail to stay small. PNG keeps sharp edges and transparency. WebP can do either, and some older forms still refuse it.

Match the format to the picture

  • A camera photo or a scan you will email: JPG.
  • A logo, a stamp, or a screenshot with text: PNG.
  • A web page you control, and you have checked the browser list: WebP.
  • A government portal: use the extension it names. If it says JPG only, do not upload WebP and rename it.

Convert image format changes JPG, PNG, and WebP in the browser. It does not open HEIC. Export HEIC to JPG from the phone first.

Size and pages are separate jobs

Converting a PNG photo to JPG often drops the file size. Converting a logo to JPG often adds a white box and fuzzy edges. If the goal is a kilobyte cap, use Compress image to a size after you are in the right format. If the goal is one document, use Images to PDF and keep the images in an order a reader can follow.

Nothing in that path is uploaded.
