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 WEBP?

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Developed by Google, it was first announced in 2010 as a new open standard for image files. The main goal of WebP is to create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.

WEBP key features

Key Features

  • Efficient Compression: WebP images are significantly smaller in file size compared to JPEGs and PNGs, while maintaining similar or even better quality. This efficient compression helps in faster loading of web pages and uses less bandwidth.
  • Support for Lossy and Lossless Compression: WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it versatile for different types of images. Lossy WebP provides an excellent balance between image quality and file size, which is particularly beneficial for photographic images. Lossless WebP, on the other hand, is great for images that require preservation of exact details and colors, such as logos and text-heavy images.
  • Transparency (Alpha Channel): WebP supports transparency, also known as an alpha channel, even in lossy and lossless modes. This feature is particularly useful for web graphics and overlays.
  • Animation: Like GIFs, WebP also supports animation, allowing it to be used as an alternative to the older GIF format with much smaller file sizes and better quality.
WEBP use cases

Use Cases

  • Web Content: WebP is primarily used to display images on the web. Its small file size and high quality make it ideal for web developers looking to improve the speed and performance of websites.
  • Mobile Applications: Due to its efficiency, WebP is also popular in mobile applications where data usage and load times are critical considerations.
  • Rich Media Applications: Given its support for rich colors, animations, and transparency, WebP is used in applications that require a rich visual experience without a heavy load on resources.
