Why Should You Use PNG Images in Your Web Design?
The benefits of using PNG image format in website creation over the different file types ;for instance, GIF and JPEG; the file type helps to make really amazing and wonderful icons that will entice your consumersThe PNG image format was introduced a few years back; it was brought out in the market in 1995/96 to cover the drawbacks of the the common GIF file format. However, it did not catch on because the early browsers were unable to support the progressive offerings of PNG so web designers and creators were compelled to use it sparingly. One of the major hindrances faced by the format was Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had very little provision for PNG support which meant that the format could only be incorporated in the most restricted way. However, matters metamorphosed when IE7 was brought out; this fresh product from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the usability of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the most innovative image formats in the market today:
You can get see through images or a property known as alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, it will become apparent that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you can only save a specific color transparently through the use of GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with no other color in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get a serious benefit; because the format can be used to produce semi transparency. With this attribute, you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then use it against a background of your choice. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a gradient background or water mark. The file type lets you incorporate the slow fading of colors from fully opaque to see through, so that you can see the webpage below
They look fabulous: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images; there are a myriad of other benefits to incorporating this format. For example, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the information on the original file every time the file is saved, so after a while, you will notice a distinct decline in the quality of the media. Even if, this issue has been resolved in the image format and it is possible to save the images without sacrificing any information, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which renders it quite ineffective if you want to store a photograph. On the other hand, when you use PNG, you will get the perfect attributes of the two file types; you will be provided a full color display like with JPEG images and it also provides managed color palette a la GIF files. Another advantage is that the compression of the image is lossless so the picture stays put regardless of how many time you save it.
PNG allows for self optimization: A serious problem that web programmers need to handle on a daily basis is the fact that the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen has to be changed to see the pictures correctly; the issue comes into the picture due to the difference in the Gamma setting used for the different monitors. Gamma is a technology that helps to spread the brightness across the monitor display. However, diverse operating systems use varying Gamma settings. Therefore, a picture that is color corrected for Windows may not look right on a Mac. Again, in this situation the innovative PNG format can help you out, in PNG, you can store the images with a built in Gamma correction so despite the differences in operating systems; the Gamma settings will be automatically adjusted to display a picture with the amazing contrast and brightness.
