Why Do You Need to Use PNG File Format in Your Web Design?

The benefits of incorporating PNG file format in website creation over other formats such as GIF and JPEG; the file format can be use to make bettergood and wonderful icons that will entice your customers.

The PNG file type was introduced a few years back; it was brought out in the marketlfor consumers around 95/96 to cover the drawbacks of the traditional GIF file format. However, it did not catch on because the then browsers could not offer support to the advanced offerings of PNG so web designers and makers were forced to include it in their designs sparingly. One of the main hindrances standing in the way of PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had limited provision for PNG support consequently the format could only be made use of in limited capacity. However changed after the availability of IE7; this new offeringbrowser from Microsoft has helped in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is is often regarded as the the most useful image formats around today:

It is possible to create tranparent images or alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, will notice that one of the major differences is that you will only be able to save a particular color in a transparent format through GIF this simply means that you can get the color regardless of it being opaque or transparent with just transparency in between; however, with PNG, you get a serious feature over GIF; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. The Image can also be used as a gradient background or water mark. The file type lets you incorporate the slow fading ofhues from fully opaque to transparent, and hence you will be able to view the webpage below

They lookfantastic: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are numreous other advantages to incorporating this format. For example, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the data from the initial image every time you save the file, so eventually, you will be able to view a conspicuous downgrade in the finesse of the pictures. Although, this concern has now been sortedbeen resolved in GIF and will be able to store the pictures without sacrificing any information, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite useless if you are going to save a picture. However, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the most desired benefits of the two file types; you will have access to a a full color display similar to 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}.
