Which image filetype to save as?

Hello I am new to making wallpapers and as most of you probably know I created the ORBIT WALLPAPER PACK anyways, I was wondering. What is the best extension to save wallpapers as?

.jpg, .png, .bmp, etc!

Thanks.

jpg and png are the best options

Highest quality jpeg would probably be the best.

PNG retains more information but filesizes are bigger by comparison.

PNG and JPG.

I personally like PNG because it's essentially lossless

Yeah i'm currently saving them as .PNG, like my ORBIT WALLPAPER PACK, that's in .PNG. For some reason though when I save it in .PNG and I use it as my wallpaper the wallpaper keeps dissapearing in the background.. Maybe it's my problem but yeah I might keep using .PNG.

Problem with PNG is that if a wallpaper has transparency and is saved as a PNG, it won't show up properly on a Windows desktop... which is where JPG comes in.

That's why you don't have wallpapers with transparency
