Why Should You Use PNG Image Format in Your Web Design?
The benefits of incorporating PNG images in web designing over other file types like GIF and JPEG; the file format works well if you need to make bettergood and wonderful icons that will entice your visitors.The PNG file format was introduced some time ago; it was brought out in the marketlfor consumers in 1995/96 to meet the deficiencies of the traditional GIF file type. However, it failed to create ripples because the then browsers were unable to support the advanced features of PNG so internet designers and developers had include it in their designs sparingly. One of the primary hurdles standing in the way of PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was the most well known and widely used browsers of that period; IE had limited place for PNG support which equated to the fact that the format could only be used in limited capacity. However metamorphosed after the availability of IE7; this new offeringbrowser from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the usability of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is is often regarded as the best image formats to be introduced so far:
It is possible to create see through images or alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, you will see that A defnitve difference in the two formats is that you can only save a particular color transparently through the use of GIF this simply means that you can get the color whether opaque or transparent with nothing in between with the use of PNG, you get adistinct benefit; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG picture with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. You can also use the image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The file type allows for the smooth fading ofcolors from completely opaque to absolutely transparent, exposing the webpage below
They lookspectacular: It is a well known fact that PNG images give you extreme flexibility also ; there are several a myriad of other advantages to using this format. For example, if you choose a JPG image, you lose some of the information from the original file each time you save the file, so eventually, you will notice a distinct deterioration in the appearance of the media. Even though, this issue has been solved in GIF and it is possible to save the images without compromising any information, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which rendersimpart it quite useless if you are going to store a photograph. But, with PNG, you will get the best features of the two file types; you will be provded a a full color display like the one used in 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}.
