Why Should You Use PNG File Format in Your Website Designs?
The benefits of using PNG file format in website designing over the different image formats like GIF and JPEG; the file format can be use to make really amazing and wonderful icons that will entice your consumers.The PNG file type was introduced some time ago; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers in 1995/96 to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional GIF file type. However, it did not make an impression because the then browsers could not offer support to the advanced attributes of PNG so internet designers and creators were forced to to use it stingily. One of the major hurdles that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of the time; IE had very little provision for PNG support which meant that the format could only be made use of to a bare minimum. matters metamorphosed after the availability of IE7; this latestfresh product from Microsoft has helped in increasing the utility of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the the most innovative image formats in the market today:
You will be able to create tranparent images or a property known as alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, you will see that A defnitve difference in the two formats is that you will only be able to save any odd color transparently through the use of GIF this simply means that the color can be used whether opaque or transparent with just transparency in between; however, with PNG, you get a serious advantage; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The image file type allows for the slow fading ofhues from fully opaque to absolutely transparent, exposing the webpage underneath
They lookspectacular: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are several a myriad of other advantages to incorporating this format. For instance, when you use a JPEG image, you lose a portion of the data from the initial image each time the file is saved, so in time, you will be able to view a conspicuous deterioration in the appearance of the images. Even if, this concern has now been sortedbeen resolved in in the file type and will be able to store the pictures without compromising any details, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite useless if you are going to save a photograph. But, with PNG, you can get the best benefits of of the image formats; you will be provded a a full color display like the one used in JPEG format 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}.
