Best Image Format for Chrome

Chrome is usually ahead on next-gen images. That makes WebP/AVIF the right default for Chromium-heavy audiences — with converters ready for assets you still hold as JPG/PNG.

Quick take: Chrome handles WebP and AVIF excellently. Use them for performance; keep JPG/PNG fallbacks only when you must support ancient clients.
