I was wondering what image formats (aside from the basic JPEG, GIF, PNG) the major browsers would support, especially Chrome, Firefox, and Webkit. If anyone can provide a link to a list somewhere (that is updated frequently to cope with the frequent updates recently) that would be great. Support for other formats (like document and video) would also be nice.
I feel like this information should be listed somewhere, but I didn't find any such thing when I searched.

The PNG (pronounced "ping") image format uses lossless compression, while supporting higher color depths than GIF and being more efficient, as well as featuring full alpha transparency support. PNG is widely supported, with all major browsers offering full support for its features.
You should only be using PNG, JPEG, and PNG images on production websites. All other image formats are either not supported by browsers, or are not optimized and efficient for use as images on a website. Remember, just because a filename has a . png , .
