About the PNG and JPG formats
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.
JPG
JPG (or JPEG) is the universal photo format. It uses lossy compression tuned for natural images, giving you small files that look great on screens, social media, and prints. JPG has no transparency layer and progressively loses quality on each re-save, so keep an original archive if you plan to edit further.
