Hello,

What file type is better to use for product images?
PNG or JPEG?

Any expertise from your side would be great!
I know that PNG are better quality but take more space versus JPEG’s.

What file is used more these days?

Thanks for your help!

Hello, @TFS,

The best formats for websites are JPEG and PNG.

Use a JPEG for photographs as they have a high color count. This format uses special compression to reduce file size while not affecting the clarity of the image.

Use PNGs for images such as screenshots, illustrations, and website design images like icons and buttons. It uses a lossless compression technique to maintain a high-quality image. Steer clear of using PNGs for photos as it will result in huge file size.

Hello Tony,

Thanks a lot!
So using JPEG’s is the best option for product images?

So for example if I am making a website which will have lots of products, I should use JPEG’s because the images will be better and it will use less space overall?

Thank you for the assistance.
