# Supported Image Formats

Element can use PNG or JPEG file formats as material textures.  You can also use After Effect layers as textures by loading them into the Custom Texture slot in the Element effects control panel, see using [Animated Video Textures](/element2/texturing-and-materials/supported-image-formats.md).<br>
