-Quality of the compression of individual image formats. [0-100]
+You can use this to specify options for the generation of images in the supported file formats.
+For JPEG and WebP, the only supported option is ``quality`` [0-100].
+For PNG, the full set of options `exposed by the sharp library <https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/api-output#png>`_ is available, except ``force`` and ``colours`` (use ``colors``). If not set, their values are the defaults from ``sharp``.
+
+For example::
+
+  "formatOptions": {
+    "png": {
+      "palette": true,
+      "colors": 4
+    }
+  }
+
+Note: ``formatOptions`` replaced the ``formatQuality`` option in previous versions of TileServer GL.
