🖼️ Image Formats Glossary & Definitions
PNG (Portable Network Graphics): A lossless compressed raster format that records pixel data exactly as created. It supports full alpha transparency, making it the perfect choice for logos, typography, and clean graphic assets.
JPG / JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A lossy compressed raster format optimized for photograph color depth. It compresses file weights aggressively by discarding visually subtle variations, speeding up webpage loading.
WebP (Web Picture Format): Google's next-gen lossy and lossless image standard. It compresses image weights by 30% more than traditional JPEGs, directly boosting Google Core Web Vitals rankings.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): An XML-based vector graphics standard. Rather than storing a grid of pixels, it stores geometric paths, enabling graphics to scale to infinite sizes with zero blurring.
