Free and open standard

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was developed as a modern, open alternative to GIF with a strong focus on image quality and transparency. The format uses lossless DEFLATE compression, preserving all visual details but often resulting in larger file sizes compared to newer web-oriented formats such as WebP or AVIF, especially for photographs. PNG is universally supported across browsers, operating systems, and image editors, and is most commonly used for logos, icons, UI elements, and screenshots where clarity and transparency are essential.
