PNG, transparent background – Needle file set, top to bottom: pillar, half round, barrette, square, round, triangular
JPEG, white background – same as above with white background
Reason
High resolution image of needle file set shows various shapes. This is a second nom [1]. The first nom wasn't conclusive on which format, PNG or JPEG, is better. PNG has a transparent background, JPEG renders sharper on Wikipedia. If you have a preference, please specify.

  • The article File (tool) has a section about "Needle files" (where the photo is used) under the heading Types. That's the same as your recent nom Here where there is a short paragraph about Larva and your larva photo appears nearby (which by the way I supported). We can't have one set of rules for one nom and a different set of rules for another nom. Besides, this photo shows six cross sections or types (described above it in the article). That, plus its high technical quality, makes it FP worthy and the best photo in the article. Bammesk (talk) 12:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • As an engineer I can tell you that needle files would be low on my choice list to illustrate an article on tools or hand tools. The key feature of a typical hand tool is a grip suited to the human hand. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:54, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The primary article is File (tool), not tools or hand tools as you say. As far as hand tools go, files are a quintessential hand tool. In particular, needle files are used with and without a handle attachment. You should know that since you are an engineer! Bammesk (talk) 17:15, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
