Which extension should I use for my avatar?

Question

I want to use 50 avatars for my website / mobile application and I wonder what extension should I use for it?

My avatars are eps now and I can export them as svg, png, etc.

Which extension is best for performance?

You should use .png

PNG format is a lossless compression file format, which makes it a common choice for use on the Web. PNG is a good choice for storing line drawings, text, and iconic graphics at a small file size.

Of course PNG is a good choice for small images but in case I wanted to use this avatars in bigger sizes for any reason I could have svgs beforehand. – Amin Vakil Mar 18 '18 at 07:39
