- `jpeg` / `jpg` - [JPEG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG) is a very widely supported lossy image format. It's often used for photos, and offers reasonably good compression, but does not support transparency or lossless compression.
- `png` - [Portable Network Graphics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics) (PNG) is a lossless image format. PNGs are typically much larger than JPEGs or other lossy image formats, but support transparency and offer much higher quality for fine details.
- `webp`[WebP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP) supports both lossy and lossless compression as well as animation and transparency. It's [supported](https://caniuse.com/webp) in all modern browsers, and offers better compression for the same quality as JPEGs and PNGs.
- `avif`[AVIF](https://jakearchibald.com/2020/avif-has-landed/) is a new lossy image format based on the AV1 video codec which offers significant compression and quality improvements over JPEG and WebP.

JPEG XL competes with AVIF, which has roughly similar quality and compression, however AVIF has fewer features. It's currently [supported](https://caniuse.com/jpegxl) *only* in recent versions of Safari.
