Square ratio versus square size
A 1:1 ratio means width equals height; it does not specify pixel count. Both 800 × 800 and 1200 × 1200 are square. Choose crop resolution to avoid forced scaling, or a preset when a destination requires set dimensions.

JPG uses lossy compression to create small files and works best for photographs, but it does not support transparency. PNG uses lossless compression, preserves sharp details and transparency, and is best for graphics, logos, and screenshots, though files are often larger. WebP can produce smaller files than JPG or PNG, supports transparency, and is a strong choice for modern websites. Choose JPG for photos and broad compatibility, PNG when exact detail or transparency matters, and WebP when reducing web page file size is the priority.
