Image Formats

• JPEG: good for photos because of effecient compression adn support for a large array of colors
• PNG: good for images with transparency such as logos, icons or other sorts of graphics.

Responsive Imagery

The importance of responsive design has grown as the web has developed further. The way a website will function on a range of devices with varying screen sizes is a crucial factor for a web designer. Images play a big part in this since you have to change them to fit various screen sizes while still getting good performance. A responsive and well-optimized image will display effectively on desktops and mobile devices alike.

• Use HTML's srcset attribute to get the best image sized based on what the users screen size and resolution is
• This will improve loading time and provide a better experience for the user
