PNG or Portable Network Graphic is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNGs support palette based images with 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA colors, grayscale images, and non-palette images with full color RGB or RGBA. PNGs are best known for supporting an alpha channel for transparency which can greatly simplify editing depending on the use case. Typically you see PNGs with transparent backgrounds as a result.

What can PNGs be used for?

PNGs are typically used for web graphics, logos, charts, and illustrations. Since they support transparency, most PNGs come without a background element which makes them easy to incorporate into existing designs.
