When should I use PNG instead of JPG?

Use PNG for images with text, logos, screenshots, graphics with sharp edges, or when you need transparency. Use JPG for photographs and complex images where smaller file size matters.

Why is my PNG file so large?

PNG uses lossless compression, so files are larger than JPG. Reduce PNG file size by using PNG-8 (256 colors) instead of PNG-24, or convert to WebP which offers better compression with transparency support.
