Transparent illustrations
Need clean edges and alpha? Use PNG for maximum fidelity or WebP lossless for smaller packages.
- Trim the crop to reduce empty space
- Generate @2x Retina variants when needed
Format Guide
Why pick this format?
ImgEasyResize exports PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, and ICO. Use this sheet to balance speed, transparency, and compatibility before you commit.
Raster vs. vector
Most web assets are raster grids, while vectors describe shapes (SVG / Illustrator). ImgEasyResize focuses on raster finishing, but confirm whether your source needs to stay vector—icons that must scale programmatically should remain SVG, while photos, textures, and brush-heavy art should move to PNG / JPEG / WebP / AVIF.
Raster → photos / texturesVector → icons / logosHybrid → export vectors as raster for compatibility
Core format comparison
| Format | Highlights | Browser support | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNG | Lossless compression with full alpha and Indexed Color options. | All modern browsers (including legacy IE). | UI mockups, logos, pixel art, assets that need transparency. |
| JPEG | Lossy compression, quality 0–1; 0.75+ is near-lossless. | All modern browsers. | Photography, hero banners, gradients and full-color backgrounds. |
| WebP | Lossy or lossless with alpha and better ratios than JPEG / PNG. | Chrome / Edge / Firefox / Safari 14+. | UI / illustrations that need transparency plus small file sizes; mobile web imagery. |
| AVIF | AV1-based, supports HDR, 10-bit, alpha, and the highest compression. | Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+. | Hero shots, fullscreen photos, bandwidth-sensitive mobile scenes. |
| ICO | Windows favicon standard with multiple embedded sizes. | Only for browser favicons. | Favicons and manifest fallbacks. |
Workflow tip: export AVIF or WebP first, then duplicate the settings for a PNG or JPEG fallback. Batch download keeps the base filename while swapping extensions.
Large photo sets
Export AVIF at ~0.45–0.65 quality, then fall back to JPEG when a browser demands it.
- Use ImgEasyResize’s quality slider for quick comparisons
- Enable “fit to screen” to inspect details
In-app screenshots
When UI text must stay razor sharp, stick with PNG or WebP lossless and pair it with Retina scaling.
- Lock the width / height so every device stays consistent
- Batch export to keep filenames aligned
Dual-format checklist
To support older devices or embedded systems, ship a modern + fallback combo:
- Export AVIF / WebP first (e.g., hero.avif), then duplicate the settings for JPEG / PNG.
- Use
<picture>with explicittypeattributes so the browser picks what it supports. - Store both formats in the same CDN directory for consistent caching.
ImgEasyResize’s batch download keeps the original filenames and simply swaps the extension—perfect for this workflow.
