Why Do You Need to Use PNG File Format in Your Website Designs?
The advanatges of incorporating PNG image format in website creation over other file types like GIF and JPEG; the image format helps to make really amazing and spectacular images that will wow your customers.The PNG file format was introduced quite a while back; it was brought out in the marketlfor consumers in the mid 90's to cover the drawbacks of the popular GIF imageformat. However, it failed to create ripples because the the browsers of the time were not designed to support the advanced attributes of PNG so web designers and makers were compelled to use it restrictedly. One of the primary blocks faced by PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was the most well known and widely used browsers of the time; IE had little or no space for PNG support which meant that the format could only be used in the most restricted way. the scene changed with the introduction of IE7; this latestfresh product from Microsoft has helped in 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:
Youcan get images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or a feature called alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, you will see that A defnitve difference in the two formats is that you will only be able to save a particular color as transparent in GIF which means that you can get the color whether opaque or transparent with just transparency in between with the use of PNG, you get apecific benefit; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. 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. The Image can also be used as a watermark or a gradient background. The file type allows for the slow fading ofcolors from completely opaque to absolutely transparent, exposing the webpage below
They lookfantastic: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are several a myriad of other benefit to incorporating this format. For instance, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the information on the original file every time the file is saved, so in time, you will notice a distinct decline in the finesse of the images. Even if, this problem has been solved in the image format and you can store the files without losing any details, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which makes it quite ineffective if you want to save a snap shot. On the other hand, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the best features of of the image formats; you get a an extensive color display like with 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}.
