Webp, because it takes up way less memory space.

It also supports transparency, which is pretty sweet.
AVIF is another good one.

Hadn't heard of AVIF. How does it compare to webp?

Jpg should die already, it's an outdated format that destroys image quality with its compression method. It was fine while we used dial-up modems for the internet, but nowaday speeds are fast enough to have bigger files.

Sorry-not-sorry for the rant.

From Google:

Pros

• AVIF has higher compression efficiency than JPEG, PNG, and WebP, resulting in smaller file sizes without sacrificing quality.
• Provides higher image quality in complex visual scenarios.
• It supports a wide color gamut for accurate, vibrant color reproduction. Effective for high-quality images.
• Supports transparency for both lossy and lossless compression.
• Adaptive and responsive, it supports various resolutions and quality levels.

Cons

• Limited browser support.
• Requires extensive computing power for encoding and decoding images.
• Popular image editing software still doesn’t support AVIF natively.
• Needs adjustment in workflows and tools to transform to AVIF.

Ren'Py has only recently started supporting it (With Ren'Py 8.1 I believe).

Damn, seems like the way to go then. Thanks for the tip.
