💡 Tips for with transparent background
- ✓ PNG is the standard format for transparent images on the web. It supports full alpha channel transparency, meaning pixels can be fully transparent, fully opaque, or anything in between.
- ✓ WEBP also supports transparency and produces smaller files than PNG. Use it when targeting modern browsers.
- ✓ JPG does not support transparency. Converting a transparent PNG to JPG replaces transparent areas with a white or black background.
- ✓ GIF transparency is binary — each pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque. It produces jagged edges. Use PNG for smooth transparent logos and icons.
- ✓ When placing a transparent image in print software (InDesign, Illustrator), use TIFF or native PSD/AI formats — PNG transparency is sometimes mishandled by print drivers.
