# 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 format | MIME-Type | Usage                                          |
| ----------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 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.
