JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
Pros: Small file size, widely supported.
Cons: Lossy compression
(quality drops if compressed too much).
Verdict: Almost all exam portals (NEET, JEE, UPSC) specifically ask for JPG/JPEG images because they are efficient to store.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
Pros: Lossless quality, supports transparency.
Cons: Larger file size.
Verdict: Great for editing, but usually not accepted for final upload due to larger file sizes.
