Overview<\/h3>\n

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format that supports a wide range of colors and transparency. PNG is a popular format for images that need to be displayed on the web or in print.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

PNG is an acronym for Portable Network Graphics. It was developed as a replacement for the GIF format, which is a lossy format that can degrade the quality of images over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

PNG files are stored in a compressed format that makes them smaller than GIF files. This makes them ideal for use on the web, where bandwidth is limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

PNG files support a wide range of colors, including 24-bit RGB and 32-bit RGBA. This allows for the creation of images with a high degree of realism and detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

PNG files also support transparency, which allows for images to be overlaid on top of each other. This can be used to create a variety of special effects, such as drop shadows and animated GIFs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
