Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG File Format in Your Website Designs?
The benefits of incorporating PNG image format in web designing over other image formats ;for intance, GIF and JPEG; the file format helps to make really amazing and spectacular images that will prove alluring to your visitors.The PNG file format was introduced a few years back; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers around 95/96 to cover the drawbacks of the traditional GIF file type. However, it did not catch on because the early browsers were unable to support the advanced features of PNG so internet designers and developers were forced to to use it stingily. One of the main hurdles standing in the way of PNG was with Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was the most well known and widely used browsers of the time; IE had little or no place for PNG support which meant that the format could only be incorporated to a bare minimum. Then, went through a change after the availability of IE7; this latestfresh offeringbrowser from Microsoft has helped in increasing the usability of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is one of the the most useful image formats around today:
Youcan get see through images or a property known as alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, it will become apparent that one of the major differences is that you you will be restricted to saving a specific color as transparent in GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be transformed whether opaque or transparent with nothing in between with the use of PNG, you get a serious advantage; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. This simply means that you can 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 lets you incorporate the slow fading ofhues from entirely opaque to absolutely transparent, so that you can see the webpage underneath
They lookspectacular: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are several a myriad of other benefit to including this format. For example, when you use a JPEG image, you lose some of the data on the original file each time the file is saved, so in time, you will notice a conspicuous deterioration in the finesse of the images. Even if, this issue has been solved in GIF and you can store the files without compromising any details, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which makes it quite ineffective if you want to save a picture. But, with PNG, you will get the perfect benefits of of the image formats; you get a a complete color display like the one used in JPEG file type 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}.
