Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PNG?

PNG, which stands for Portable Network Graphics, is a raster graphics file format that was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF. It was first developed in the mid-1990s as a response to the limitations of the GIF format, primarily its color palette restrictions and the patent issues surrounding the compression technique GIF used at the time.

PNG key features

Key Features

  • Lossless Compression: PNG uses lossless compression, meaning that all the original image data can be fully restored when the file is decompressed. This makes it ideal for storing images with detailed, high-quality content.
  • Support for More Colors: Unlike GIF, which is limited to a 256-color palette, PNG supports 24-bit images, allowing for up to 16 million colors. This makes it highly suitable for complex images like photographs.
  • Transparency Support: PNG allows for varying degrees of transparency. It supports alpha channel transparency, which means you can have different levels of transparency for different pixels, allowing for smooth transitions and soft edges in images.
  • Interlacing: A PNG image can be saved with interlacing, a technique that allows incremental display. This means that a low-quality version of the whole image can be seen as the file is being downloaded, gradually improving in quality as more data is loaded.
PNG use cases

Use Cases

  • Web Images: Due to its lossless compression and support for transparency, PNG is very popular for use on the internet, especially for logos, icons, and other web graphics where quality and transparency are important.
  • Image Editing: PNG's lossless compression makes it a preferred choice for storing intermediate stages of digital artwork, as there is no quality loss with repeated saving.
  • Complex Graphics: For images that require high detail, such as diagrams and illustrations, PNG is often used because of its support for a high number of colors and alpha transparency.

What is a GIF?

GIF, which stands for Graphics Interchange Format, is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite in 1987. It has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability between applications and operating systems.

GIF key features

Key Features

  • Animation: One of the most notable features of GIFs is their ability to support animations. A GIF file can contain multiple images that are displayed in succession, creating a looping animation without sound.
  • Palette Limitation: GIFs are limited to 256 colors, which makes the format suitable for simpler images like graphics or logos with solid areas of color, but less ideal for photographs.
  • Lossless Compression: GIF uses lossless compression, meaning that the compression technique does not degrade the quality of the image. However, due to its color limitation, the image quality might not be as high as seen in formats that support more colors.
  • Transparency: GIFs support simple transparency, allowing one color in the indexed color palette to be completely transparent.
GIF use cases

Use Cases

  • Web Graphics: GIFs are commonly used for small, simple graphics on websites, such as icons and buttons.
  • Animations: Short animations, like those seen in memes or simple instructional animations, are often created in GIF format because they can be easily viewed on most platforms without needing additional software.
  • Social Media and Messaging: GIFs are popular on social media and messaging platforms for sharing reactions and emotions through simple animations.
