File format

What file format should product images have?

Image formats are many. *.jpg, *.png, *.gif are the most common and work fine on all browsers. However, for the display of product images in Shopware you should use the following two file formats:

File formatMIME-TypeUsage

JPG (JPEG)

*.jpg

Product images without transparencies

PNG

*.png

Cropped product images with transparencies

If the product images are without transparencies, the JPG file format should be chosen due to its smaller file size.

However, an exception here are images with low color gamut like logos or illustrations. Unlike photos, these have only a few colors and can be compressed better in PNG format.
