Optimal image size and weight for graphic design portfolio

Hi everybody! I am just starting out using Webflow and I am using it to create my portfolio as a branding / 3D designer. My site will feature a lot of full-width images and videos to showcase each project, image quality is really important to me, and i have a few doubts::

  1. what format is optimal? jpg? should I convert them to webp in webflow? or leave them as jpg.
  2. aspect ratio: what is the best aspect ratio for Horizontal images, and vertical ones? to ensure when changing screen sizes i sstill get most of the relevant part of the image in frame.
  3. what is the best quality in pixels?
  4. regarding videos: format, resolution, etc?
  5. any tip regarding what settings to use when exporting from photoshop or illustrator to achieve better quality/image size ratios?

Thanks for your help! having a lot of fun learning how to use the platform :slight_smile:
