PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP are just different formats of the same image, each of them is needed for its own specific purposes.
Image formats
When printing an image on a printer, the process may take varying amounts of time, depending on the characteristics of the printer, the type of paper, and the quality of the printout. In the same way, an electronic image will be displayed on the screen at different speeds, depending on the size, weight and format of the image it has. Page loading speed is just as important as before, because along with Internet speed, image quality has also not lagged behind in development.

What is an image converter for?
Now the volume of information that contains images has become many times greater. Therefore, various optimized image formats have begun to be actively used, such as WebP, which do not lose image quality, but at the same time reduce the weight of the image in kilobytes many times and reduce the loading speed of pages on sites. There are also other formats that save space and do not significantly spoil the quality of images, for example, if you change the image format BMP to JPEG , then it will be practically impossible to distinguish these two images purely by eye, but the space they occupy on the hard drive will decrease significantly.
The benefits of different image formats
This is not the only advantage of the JPEG format, it is also very popular because most programs work with it easily, and it is convenient to upload it to a website or send it in instant messengers. PNG formats support high image clarity and alpha channels (transparency), so it is often used for high-quality images of large volume, but if the task does not require this, it is better to convert to a lighter format. GIF support animation, that is, it contains several images and a time interval through which they replace each other, therefore it is mainly used only for these tasks, but if the image is motionless, then It would also be better to convert it to a lighter format to save space and download speed.
