Why Should You Use PNG File Format in Your Website Creation?
The pros of incorporating PNG file format in website designing over the different file types ;for instance, GIF and JPEG; the file type helps to make better and efficient web graphics that will prove alluring to your visitorsThe PNG file format was introduced quite a while back; it was brought out for consumers in 1995/96 to meet the deficiencies of the the common GIF image format. However, it failed to create ripples because the early browsers were unable to support the progressive features of PNG so web designers and developers were forced to use it stingily. One of the major blocks standing in the way was Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had very little space for PNG support which meant that the format could only be made use of to a bare minimum. But, matters changed when IE7 was brought out; this new offering from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the utility of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is one of the most innovative image formats in the market today:
You can get transparent images or alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, it will become apparent that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you you will be restricted to saving a particular 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 simply means that you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. The Image can also be used as a background with gradient or a water mark. The image file type allows for the smooth fading of colors from entirely opaque to transparent, exposing the webpage that lies in the background
They look fantastic: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also; there are numerous other advantages to incorporating this format. For example, when you use a JPEG image, you lose a portion of the data from the original file whenever you save the file, so eventually, you will notice a conspicuous decline in the finesse of the pictures. Although, this issue has now been sorted in the image format and it is possible to store the images without compromising any information, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which makes it quite futile if you have to store a picture. But, if PNG is incorporated, you will get the best attributes of the image formats; you get an extensive color display similar to JPEG images and it also supports managed color palette a la GIF files. At the same time the storage of the image is without loss so the picture stays put even if you save the file several times.
PNG is self optimizing: A major concern that web designers face very often is the issue where the contrast and the brightness of the monitor has to be changed to see the images properly; this problem occurs due to the Gamma settings of different monitors. Gamma setting is a method that helps to distribute the luminance across the screen. However, different operating systems use a variety of Gamma settings. Hence, a picture that is color corrected to suit Windows will seem wrong when seen on Mac. Here again, in this situation the versatile PNG image type can help you out, in PNG, you can save the pictures with with a Gamma correction feature that is innate so despite the differences in operating systems; the Gamma settings will be changed on its own to show a picture with the perfect contrast and brightness.
