About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless format: every pixel is preserved exactly, and it supports full transparency. That makes it the standard choice for logos, screenshots, UI graphics and any image that needs a transparent background. The trade-off is file size — PNGs are larger than JPG, WebP or AVIF for photographic content.
About AVIF
AVIF is the newest mainstream image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It achieves the smallest file sizes of any widely supported format at comparable quality and supports transparency, animation and HDR. Browser support is now broad, but many apps and platforms still can't read or export it.
