Best Export Settings: PNG vs JPG

imgflip.xyz exports to PNG or JPG. Here’s a simple way to choose the right output for your image.

Choose PNG when…

• You need crisp edges (UI, text, diagrams, screenshots).
• You need transparency (alpha channel).
• You want lossless quality.

Choose JPG when…

• It’s a photo (gradients and natural texture).
• You want smaller files and don’t need transparency.

A good JPG quality setting

A practical default is around 0.85–0.92. Increase it for sharper details (larger files). Lower it for smaller size (more artifacts).
