When uploading images to Google Sites, it’s important to use the supported file formats to ensure your images display correctly. Google Sites supports several common image file formats, including JPEG (or JPG), PNG, GIF, and BMP. These formats are widely used and offer a good balance between image quality and file size, making them ideal for web use.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is one of the most popular image formats due to its high compression ratio, which allows for smaller file sizes while maintaining decent image quality. This format is especially suitable for photographs and images with many colors and gradients. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is another widely supported format known for its lossless compression, which preserves image quality. PNG is ideal for images that require transparency or have sharp edges, such as logos or icons.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is primarily used for simple images and animations. While it supports a limited color palette, making it less suitable for complex images, GIF is useful for simple graphics and small animations. BMP (Bitmap) is a less commonly used format for web images but is still supported by Google Sites. BMP files tend to be larger because they are uncompressed, which can impact page load times.

By using these supported formats—JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP—you can ensure that your images are properly displayed on your Google Site, providing a better user experience for your visitors.
