Why Understanding Image Formats Matters

Choosing the right image format can significantly impact file size, quality, loading speed, and user experience. Each format has its own strengths and weaknesses:

  • File Size: Different formats compress images differently, affecting how much storage and bandwidth they require.
  • Quality: Some formats preserve image quality perfectly, while others use lossy compression to reduce file size.
  • Compatibility: Not all formats are supported by all browsers, devices, or applications.
  • Use Cases: Each format is optimized for specific purposes like web display, printing, or archival storage.
