Why Should You Use PNG File Format in Your Website Creation?
The benefits of using PNG file format in website creation over other image formats such as GIF and JPEG; the image format can be used to make really amazing and spectacular images that will prove alluring to your visitors
The PNG file format was introduced a few years back; it was brought out in the market around 95/96 to meet the deficiencies of the popular GIF image format. However, it did not catch on because the the browsers of the time could not offer support to the progressive offerings of PNG so web designers and makers were compelled to use it restrictedly. One of the main hindrances that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of that period; IE had little or no space for PNG support consequently the format could only be incorporated in the most restricted way. Then, matters went through a change after the availability of IE7; this new product from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the usability of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the best image formats around today:
You can get see through images or a feature called alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, you will see that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you can only save any odd color transparently through the use of GIF which means that the color can be transformed regardless of it being opaque or transparent with no other color in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get a distinct benefit; because the format is capable of producing semi transparent pixels. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a watermark or a gradient background. The file type lets you incorporate the slow fading of colors from fully opaque to transparent, exposing the webpage that lies in the background
They look fabulous: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also; there are a myriad of other advantages to including this format. For instance, when you use a JPEG image, you lose a part of the information on the original file whenever you save the file, so eventually, you will notice a noticeable downgrade in the appearance of the media. Even if, this issue has been resolved in in the file type and you will be able to store the pictures without losing any data, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which imparts it quite useless if you want to store a picture. On the other hand, if PNG is incorporated, you will get the perfect attributes of the image formats; you will be provided a complete color display similar to JPEG file type and it also offers managed color palette as seen in GIF files. At the same time the compression of the picture is without loss so the image stays put despite innumerable times of saving the file.
PNG is self optimizing: A serious problem that web programmers have to tackle very often is the issue where the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen has to be changed to see the pictures properly; the issue comes into the picture due to various Gamma setting used in monitors from different vendors. Gamma is a technique used to scatter the luminance across the display surface. However, different operating systems use distinct Gamma settings. Hence, a picture that is color corrected to suit Windows may not look right on a Mac. Here again, in this scenario the innovative PNG picture format can help you out, in PNG, you can save the images with a built in Gamma correction so regardless of the operating system; the Gamma settings will be automatically adjusted to show an image with the amazing brightness and contrast.
