PNG Files Create Realistic Images Print this page Save this page
PNG is a format that recovers images exactly. It is superior to GIF because it supports 16 million colors with a lossless compression known as deflation. PNG is used on images with large areas of exactly uniform color. PNG images almost always look great. Unfortunately, PNG images are not readable by all browsers and therefore are not always the best choice for Web sites. PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics.
