About PNG Format

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a versatile image format that offers lossless compression and full alpha transparency support. Originally created as an improved replacement for GIF, PNG has become the standard for web graphics, screenshots, logos, and any image requiring transparency. For photos, consider converting to optimized JPG for smaller files, or WebP for modern web optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

PNG is ideal for graphics with transparency (logos, icons), screenshots, text-heavy images, and any graphics where quality preservation is important. For photos without transparency, JPG usually produces smaller files, or try WebP for the best balance.

Use PNG for graphics, logos, screenshots, and images requiring transparency. Use JPG for photos and images with many colors where small file size matters. For web, WebP offers the best of both worlds.

Use PNG compression to reduce file size by up to 80% while maintaining quality. For even smaller files, convert to WebP (30% smaller) or JPG if transparency isn't needed. You can also use PNG to 8-bit for simple graphics.

Yes! PNG supports full alpha transparency with 256 levels of opacity. This makes PNG perfect for logos, icons, and overlays. Use our PNG Background Remover to create transparent images from existing photos.

WebP offers better compression (20-30% smaller) with similar quality and transparency support. However, PNG has universal browser support. For best results, serve WebP to modern browsers with PNG fallback using the picture element.
