Product categoriesUpdated November 1, 2026

Each graphics file type serves different purposes, so choose based on your project needs!

Here's a basic breakdown of PNG, JPG and Vectors:

PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

  • Use for transparent overlays, logos, UI elements, and web graphics

  • Supports transparency and maintains high quality

  • Best in Photoshop, Canva, Figma, websites, and digital products

JPG (JPEG)

  • Use for backgrounds, textures, and detailed imagery

  • Smaller file size; ideal for full-colour, non-transparent images

  • Best in print projects, websites, presentations, and video editing

Vector Files (AI, EPS, SVG)

  • Use for: Logos, icons, scalable illustrations

  • Why: Can be resized without losing quality

  • Best in: Illustrator, Figma, Affinity Designer, Inkscape

Hope this helps, enjoy your new Studio 2am graphics! 💥🌈
