About PNG and AVIF

PNG (PNG image). PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparent backgrounds. The files are larger than JPG for photos, but text, logos and screenshots stay perfectly sharp. It is best for logos, screenshots, graphics and pictures that need a transparent background.

AVIF (AVIF image). AVIF is a newer format based on the AV1 video codec. It gives very small files with good quality and supports transparency, but older software and some phones cannot open it yet. It is best for websites that want the smallest possible pictures.
