What is a PNG File?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format that supports transparent (alpha channel) backgrounds. It is ideal for logos, icons, and screenshots. Developed as a modern alternative to GIF, PNG supports over 16 million colors. It is the standard format for web design elements requiring transparency. Because compression is lossless, original image data is perfectly preserved, though file sizes tend to be larger than JPG for photographic content.
