JPG: best for photos
JPG uses lossy compression that works great for photographs with lots of color variation. It doesn't support transparency.
PNG: best for graphics and transparency
PNG is lossless and supports transparent backgrounds, making it ideal for logos, icons and screenshots with text.
WEBP: the modern all-rounder
WEBP typically produces smaller files than both JPG and PNG at similar quality, and supports transparency too. Most modern browsers support it well.
