Choosing the right image format for product customization

Our product designer supports SVG, PNG, and JPEG image formats. Each format works best in different situations. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right one:

SVG (Recommended)

Best for: Logos, icons, graphics with editable colors
Why use it: SVG files are lightweight, look sharp on all screens, and allow individual parts of a design to be recolored.
Extra benefit: Our designer can recognize separate paths in the SVG, so customers can customize colors of different elements easily.

Use SVG whenever you want flexible, high-quality customization.

PNG

Best for: Graphics with transparency when SVG is not available
Why use it: PNGs can support color customization, but it’s more limited and may affect browser performance with large files.
Important note: Coloring large PNGs may cause slowdowns.

Use PNG only if SVG is not an option.

JPEG

Best for: Photos and standard images
Why use it: JPEGs are great for displaying detailed images but cannot support transparent backgrounds or recoloring.
Limitation: Attempting to colorize a JPEG will only produce a solid block of color.

Use JPEG for photos or when no customization is needed.
