Mainstream Image Format Comparison
PNG (Lossless + Transparency)
Lossless compression, supports transparent backgrounds, larger file size. Use cases: Logos, icons, UI screenshots. Drawback: Photos tend to be large.
JPEG/JPG (Lossy + Small Size)
Lossy compression, no transparency support, small file size. Use cases: Photos, real-world shots. Drawback: Repeated editing accumulates distortion.
WebP (Modern Format + High Compression)
Developed by Google, supports both lossy/lossless and transparency, with 25%-35% higher compression than PNG/JPEG. Use cases: Website images, mobile assets.
BMP (Uncompressed + Large Size)
Uncompressed bitmap, very large file size. Rarely used in daily work.

Conversion Tips
- Before converting to JPG, if there are transparent areas, they will be filled with white — back up important PNG assets first
- For WebP conversion, set quality to 80, size is about 70% of JPG, with virtually no visible difference
- After batch conversion, use Image Compression for another optimization pass
Choosing the right image format ensures both quality and size control.
