Image Encoding

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.
