choose to use on your site is extremely important because it will tell us a lot
about you as a business. Make

For photos and graphics with gradients (smooth color blends), we recommend that you save your images as JPEG files - these files are compressed so they will be relatively small, while maintaining solid colors without distorting.
For images with solid colors flat as a graphic or text, you must save as GIF files - These are the best for graphics and crisp blocks because they are smaller in size than JPEG, but will make photos look grainy.
For more information on the types and solving see Saving files for the web.
