Choosing image formats for your website

Choose an image format based on what the image needs to show and how quickly it should load.

• JPG (JPEG) works well for photos and images with many colors.
• PNG works well for logos, screenshots, and graphics that need a transparent background or sharp edges.
• GIF works for simple, short animations. Use it sparingly to keep page size down.

Resize images to fit where they appear on the page and preview them after uploading to check that they still look sharp.
