Emblem file types

.JPG Files

These are a very standard format. There is no transparency (background is white). These are the ‘safest’ option, your default. Share these and any recipient is entirely likely to be able to view and print in a reasonably consistent style.

.EPS Files

These are resolution independent files suitable for designers or printers. Your master files basically.

.PNG Files

These are a fixed resolution and support transparency, so the ‘normal’ version is on a transparent background. Suitable for websites, email signatures etc
