We recommend using .png image format with Visionaire Studio. We also recommend the .webP image format because it can be lossless/hq at a fraction of the original size (.png), without being able to tell the difference in quality between the 2 file formats.

The only downside to .webP format is that you will have to keep your original image files handy as they are not supported by the large majority of image editing applications.

PNG WEBP
  • Supports transparency using alpha channels/masks.
  • Lossless image format.
  • Decent compression.
  • Can be edited in most image editing applications such as photoshop.
  • Supports transparency using alpha channels/masks.
  • Multiple image export formats options. (lossy/lossless)
  • Great compression (compared to png) for lossy/hq options. (from 10-80% difference)
  • Great for reducing required hard-drive space requirements for game/project.
  • Great for optimizing loading time of images/animations.
  • Not supported by majority of image editing applications.
