Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -PNG or Portable Network Graphics files are a lossless image format originally designed to improve upon and replace the gif format. PNG files are able to handle up to 16 million colors, unlike the 256 colors supported by GIF.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. In most cases where animation is not required, it is best to use PNG instead of GIF.

Detailed explanation-3: -While PNG, GIF, TIFF, and JPEG files are all raster formats, understanding the difference between raster and vector graphics will likely influence what file format to choose for your projects.
