For general use, if I'm looking to save a higher quality picture, I prefer PNG because it's a larger file with better detail. But if it's an image I'm saving where utmost picture quality isn't of concern, I prefer JPEG. In most cases I convert PNG files to JPEG to save space, and sometimes I'll save the original in PNG and a second copy in JPEG for easier sharing and uploading.

However, for photography, I shoot mostly JPEG files for convenience and a smaller file size, but again, if I want the best picture quality for editing and rendering, I prefer an uncompressed RAW file. The cameras I have can either save one file type or the other, or both simultaneously.

Depends on the use case, icons and art that is simple and need programtic access be SVG
Simple animation GIF
For pictures on good qruilty but with saving space or download time on a site PNG
For photogragthy images TIFF
for an image the qrulity is not all that importent or to hide files inside JPG

I did TIFF... but rethinking it likely go with SVG more

JPGs or PNGs. F*ck everything else JPEGs piss me off! They're like imposter JPGs.

. webp files are the Worst of the Worst, though! I'm trying to download images off Image Search and this bullsh*t ass, useless, unreadable. webp sh*t pops up! You can't even rename them into JPGs; they still won't work. If I didn't have the "Save Image As Type" extension, I wouldn't even be able to download any of these horrible sh*tty. webp images!

SVG or TGA

SVG good for images to look good at any resolution and for pixel art tga gives a really small file size

. JPG it is the easiest to work with.
