About PNG files

PNG keeps exact pixel information rather than using photographic lossy compression. That makes it a strong fit for sharp interface graphics, diagrams and transparent assets.

Where PNG works well

PNG is a lossless raster image format commonly used for screenshots, graphics and images that need transparency.

Common uses

Screenshots · Transparent graphics · UI assets and diagrams

Strengths

Lossless image storage · Alpha transparency · Sharp edges and text

Things to know

Photographs can be much larger than JPG or WebP · Raster images do not scale infinitely · Converting to JPG removes transparency
