However, this often means PNG files are bigger than some other formats like JPG. PNGs use lossless compression, which offers high-quality images with more colours. They are also sometimes used for detailed graphs or diagrams online. This makes them perfect to use for company or brand logos or graphics that need to be placed in documents or over other images.
However, unlike JPG, PNG files can have transparent or semi-transparent backgrounds around a design. Like JPG, PNG is a 2D ‘raster’ image format. The file extension PNG is short for ‘Portable Network Graphic’, and the format was created to offer improvements over the GIF format.
