Detailed explanation-1: -PNG or Portable Network Graphics files are a lossless image format originally designed to improve upon and replace the gif format.
Detailed explanation-2: -A GIF is a lossless format for image files that supports both animated and static images. It was the standard for 8-bit colour images on the internet until PNG became a viable alternative.
Detailed explanation-3: -JPEG works best for storing full-color images full of complex shading and color variation. PNG is mostly superior to GIF, as it is newer, supports more colors, and is free of patent restrictions. PNG cannot be used for animation, but offers highly sophisticated transparency and color support, among other features.
Detailed explanation-4: -GIF (stands for Graphics Interchange Format) was developed in the late 1980’s and it is still widely used. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) was developed around 1995, became a W3C recommendation in 1996, and has been widely implemented in most Web browsers as soon as 1998.
