Image Formats: PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP and TIFF

Let's now explore the different image formats available for conversion:

  • PNG (Portable Network Graphics): This format is popular for its ability to support transparency and compression without loss of quality. It is ideal for graphics with transparent backgrounds and images that require high quality.
  • JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): JPG is one of the most common formats used on the web. It is widely accepted due to its compression capability that reduces file size, albeit with some loss of quality. It is ideal for photographs and detailed images.
  • GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): GIF is famous for supporting animations. Additionally, it is effective for images with few colors, such as logos and simple graphics. However, it is not suitable for photographs due to its color limitation.
  • WEBP: Developed by Google, the WEBP format offers superior compression, both lossy and lossless. It's an excellent choice for the web as it significantly reduces file size while maintaining image quality.
  • TIFF (Tagged Image File Format): TIFF is a high-quality format widely used in printing and publishing. It supports layers and transparencies, making it ideal for professionals who need high-fidelity images.
