I just noticed the supported image formats are not indicated on this page. Basically PNG, GIF, JPG.

It’s a pity that itch doesn’t support webp yet… For big banners we have to choose between a big PNG file or a lower quality JPG whereas web (or avif) would allow a lightweight file with good quality.

I have a bunch of updates I need to make to the guide. I'll add the formats at the same time.

At the time I originally wrote the guide .webp stable and .avif were still relatively new, and I kind of just assumed (although I shouldn't have) that most folks would stick to PNG, GIF, and JPG (since TIFF generally does poorly for web stuff.)

Itch, generally is pretty slow t make changes/improvements. It's frankly kind of stunning how few updates I've had to make to this thing since 2020.
