| File extension | .PNG |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

The major purpose is the creation of high-quality images, mostly for video games. It was one of the first programs offering 16 mln color palette. It is open source, but has poor support among modern file viewers. TGA stores image data in uncompressed form and provides ability of efficient data compression, better than PNG or JPEG.
