Detailed explanation-1: -What is a PNG file? PNG is short for Portable Network Graphic, a type of raster image file. It’s particularly popular file type with web designers because it can handle graphics with transparent or semi-transparent backgrounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -PNG files are based on the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format, so they can support both lossy and lossless compression. While most PNGs are images, the use cases for the PNG file format is not limited to just images. They can also store text, binary data, or even entire web pages.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the difference between JPEG and PNG files? Despite their similarities and widespread use, there are many differences between JPEG and PNG files. Because of their different compression processes, JPEGs contain less data than PNGs-and therefore, are usually smaller in size.
Detailed explanation-4: -Perhaps the most fundamental difference between PNG and SVG is that one is a raster file type and the other is vector. A PNG is a raster-that is, pixel-based-image format.
