Why Do You Need to Use PNG File Format in Your Web Design?
The benefits of using PNG file format in website designing over the different file types such as GIF and JPEG; the image format works well if you need to make really amazing and efficient web graphics that will prove alluring to your consumers.The PNG file format was introduced quite a while back; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers around 95/96 to make up for the shortcomings of the popular GIF file type. However, it did not make an impression because the then browsers were not designed to support the advanced attributes of PNG so web designers and creators were forced to to incorporate it stingily. One of the main blocks faced by PNG was with Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of the time; IE had little or no space for PNG support consequently the format could only be used to a bare minimum. But metamorphosed when IE7 was brought out; this new offeringbrowser from Microsoft has helped in increasing the utility of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is is often regarded as the the most useful image formats in the market today:
It is possible to create see through images or a property known as alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, you will see that one of the major differences is that you will only be able to save a particular color transparently through the use of GIF which means that you can get the color whether opaque or transparent with just transparency in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get adistinct feature over GIF; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG picture 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 watermark or a gradient background. The format gives you the option to use the smooth fading ofshades from completely opaque to absolutely transparent, exposing the webpage underneath
They lookfantastic: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also ; there are several a myriad of other benefit to including this format. For instance, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose a portion of the information from the initial image each time the file is saved, so in time, you will be able to view a distinct downgrade in the quality of the images. Even though, this issue has been solved in GIF and you can store the pictures without sacrificing any details, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which makes it quite futile if you have to save a snap shot. But, when you use PNG, you can get the most desired attributes of both these 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}.
