Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG Images in Your Website Creation?
The benefits of including PNG image format in website designing over the different image formats such as GIF and JPEG; the file type helps to make really amazing and efficient web graphics that will prove alluring to your visitorsThe PNG file type was introduced a few years back; it was brought out in the market in the mid 90's to make up for the shortcomings of the popular GIF file format. However, it failed to create ripples because the then browsers were not designed to support the progressive features of PNG so web designers and creators were compelled to include it in their designs sparingly. One of the main blocks standing in the way was Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of the time; IE had limited place for PNG support which equated to the fact that the format could only be incorporated in the most restricted way. But, things went through a change after the availability of IE7; this latest offering from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the usability of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is is often regarded as the most innovative image formats to be introduced so far:
You will be able to create transparent images or alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, will notice that a very distinct advantage with PNG is that you can only save a specific color transparently through the use of GIF this simply means that you can get the color regardless of it being opaque or transparent with just transparency in between with the use of PNG, you get a serious advantage; because the format can be used to produce semi transparency. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. You can also use the image as a watermark or a gradient background. The format allows for the smooth fading of hues from fully opaque to transparent, so that you can see the webpage below
They look fabulous: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also; there are numerous other benefits to using this format. For instance, when you use a JPEG image, you lose some of the details from the initial image every time you save the file, so after a while, you will be able to see a noticeable deterioration in the finesse of the pictures. Although, this issue has been resolved in GIF and you can store the pictures without sacrificing any information, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which makes it quite futile if you are going to store a snap shot. But, with PNG, you could get the perfect attributes of the image formats; you will have access to a complete color display like with JPEG images and it also provides managed color palette as seen in GIF files. Also the compression of the picture is lossless so the image stays as it is despite innumerable times of saving the file.
PNG allows for self optimization: One of the hurdles that web designers face on a daily basis is the fact that the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen has to be changed to see the the display correctly; this happens due to various Gamma setting used in monitors from different vendors. Gamma is a technique incorporated to spread the brightness across the monitor display. However, diverse operating systems use a variety of Gamma settings. Hence, a picture that is color corrected to suit Windows may appear abnormal in Mac. Once again, in this situation the innovative PNG image type comes to the rescue, in PNG, you can store the images with with a Gamma correction feature that is innate so regardless of the operating system; the Gamma settings will be changed on its own to show a picture with the perfect contrast and brightness.
