Image sizes: 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256 File formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, ICO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why Should You Use PNG Image Format in Your Website Creation?The pros of incorporating PNG image format in website designing over various other formats such as GIF and JPEG; the image format can be use to make bettergood and spectacular images that will wow your customers.The PNG image format was introduced quite a while back; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers around 95/96 to meet the deficiencies of the popular GIF file type. However, it failed to create ripples because the the browsers of the time were not designed to support the advanced attributes of PNG so internet designers and creators had to use it restrictedly. One of the major hindrances faced by PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had very little space for PNG support consequently the format could only be used in the most restricted way. However went through a change when IE7 was brought out; this latestfresh product from Microsoft has aided in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the the most useful image formats around today: You will be able to create see through images or alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, it will become apparent 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 the color can be transformed whether opaque or transparent with no other color in between; however, with PNG, you get apecific feature over GIF; because the format is capable of producing semi transparent pixels. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. The Image can also be used as a gradient background or water mark. The image file type allows for the glardual fading ofhues from completely opaque to transparent, and hence you will be able to view the webpage underneath They lookfantastic: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are several a myriad of other benefit to including this format. For example, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose some of the details from the initial image whenever you save the file, so after a while, you will notice a conspicuous downgrade in the appearance of the pictures. Even though, this problem has now been sortedbeen resolved in GIF and it is possible to save the images without losing any data, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which makes it quite ineffective if you are going to save a photograph. On the other hand, when you use PNG, you could get the most desired benefits of both these formats; you get a an extensive color display like with 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}. {PNG is self optimizingL Self Optimization is possible in PNG|PNG allows for self optimization}: {One of the hurdles| A major concern|A serious problem} that web {designers|pogrammers} {face|have to tackle|need to handle} {on a daily basis|frequently|veryoften} is the {fact that|issue where|the anomaly due to which} {the contrast and the brightness of the monitor|the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen|the contrast and brightness of the commuter screen} has to be {adjusted|changed|regulated} to see the {images|pictures|the display} {properly|correctly|appropriately}; {this happens|this problem occurs|the issue comes into the picture} due to {the Gamma settings of different monitors|various Gamma setting used in monitors from different vendors|the difference in the Gamma setting used for the different monitors}. {Gamma|Gamma setting} is a {method|technology|technique} {used|incorported|that helps} to {distribute|scatter|spread} the {luminance|brightness|the light} across the {display surface|screen|monitor display}.
