Why Should You Use PNG File Format in Your Web Design?
The benefits of using PNG images in website designing over various other image formats ;for intance, GIF and JPEG; the file format works well if you need to make really amazing and spectacular images that will wow your customers.The PNG image format was introduced a few years back; it was brought out in the marketlfor consumers in 1995/96 to meet the deficiencies of the popular GIF imageformat. However, it did not catch on because the then browsers were unable to support the advanced offerings of PNG so internet designers and makers were compelled to use it stingily. One of the major blocks standing in the way of PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of the time; IE had limited space for PNG support which meant that the format could only be incorporated to a bare minimum. But changed when IE7 was brought out; this new offeringbrowser from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the popularity of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the the most useful image formats to be introduced so far:
Youcan get images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, you will see that A defnitve difference in the two formats is that you will only be able to save a specific color in a transparent format through GIF this simply means that the color can be transformed regardless of it being opaque or transparent with nothing in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get a serious feature over GIF; because the format is capable of producing semi transparent pixels. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. You can also use the image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The image file type allows for the smooth fading ofcolors from fully opaque to absolutely transparent, so that you can see the webpage underneath
They lookspectacular: It is a well known fact that PNG images give you extreme flexibility also ; there are several a myriad of other benefit to incorporating this format. For instance, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the data on the original file whenever the file is saved, so in time, you will be able to see a distinct downgrade in the quality of the images. Even if, this concern has now been sortedbeen resolved in GIF and will be able to store the images without losing any information, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which rendersimpart it quite useless if you want to store a photograph. On the other hand, if PNG is incorporated, you will get the best attributes of of the image formats; you get a a full color display like with JPEG images and it also}{supports| provides|offers} managed color palette {like|a la| as seen in} GIF files. {Also|At the same time|Another advantage is that} the {compression|storage} of the {file|image|picture} is {lossless|sans loss|without loss} so the {image|picture|photograph} {stays put|stays as it is|does not change} {regardless of how many time you save it|despite innumerable times of saving the file|even if you save the file several times}.
