When would you use a JPG GIF and PNG in your HTML?
Depends on what you want to create. Typically, for your web graphics, go with PNG. For photos, JPG is fine. The 24-bit PNG supports alpha transpancy, so if you want to use “true color” alpha transparency that’s your only option really.
Can PNG files be gifs?
PNG uses indexed colors and lossless compression (like a . GIF file), but without those copyright limitations; it cannot be animated like a GIF image.
When should I use a JPEG PNG or GIF?
TL;DR. Use JPEG format for all images that contain a natural scene or photograph where variation in colour and intensity is smooth. Use PNG format for any image that needs transparency or for images with text & objects with sharp contrast edges like logos. Use GIF format for images that contain animations.
