About PNG format
PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, logos, and images requiring crisp edges. Developed as a patent-free alternative to GIF, PNG uses efficient compression while preserving every pixel of the original image. It's the go-to format for screenshots, graphics with text, and images where quality cannot be compromised.
Pros
- +Lossless compression preserves image quality
- +Full transparency support with alpha channel
- +Excellent for graphics with sharp edges and text
Cons
- -Larger file sizes than lossy formats like JPEG
- -Not ideal for photographs
- -No animation support (use APNG or GIF instead)

- +Simple format easy to process
- +Native Windows support
Cons
- -Very large file sizes
