Specification https://www.w3.org/TR/PNG/
Description PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format designed to improve upon the limitations of the older GIF format. It supports millions of colors, full alpha transparency, and optional interlacing. Because it uses lossless DEFLATE compression, PNG preserves every pixel exactly as stored, making it ideal for graphics that need sharp edges, text clarity, and no degradation over multiple saves.
Typical usage
  • Web graphics where image clarity is critical
  • Icons and UI elements that require transparent backgrounds
  • Screenshots of applications or websites
  • Digital charts, diagrams, and infographics
Typical use cases
  • Preserving pixel-perfect quality for logos and branding materials
  • Creating assets for responsive web design where crisp scaling is important
  • Maintaining text sharpness in interface screenshots
  • Storing intermediate design work before final export to other formats
Widely supported by
  • All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Popular design software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and Affinity Photo
  • Image processing libraries like Sharp, libpng, and ImageMagick
Tooling Read: libpng, Sharp, ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick | Write: libpng, Sharp, ImageMagick

Interlacing Supports Adam7 interlacing for progressive display
Advantages
  • Lossless compression retains exact image quality regardless of edits or re-saves.
  • Supports a full alpha channel for smooth transparency and blending effects.
  • Can store high bit depth images (up to 16 bits per channel), making it suitable for professional work.
  • Universally supported across browsers, operating systems, and image viewers.
Disadvantages
  • File sizes can be significantly larger than JPEG for photographic images due to lossless compression.
  • Does not inherently support animation without APNG extension.
  • Large high-resolution PNGs can be memory-intensive to decode in browsers or apps.
Max size note While technically supporting very large dimensions, decoding extremely large PNGs can consume high amounts of RAM, potentially leading to performance issues in browsers.
