Why Do You Need to Use PNG Images in Your Website Creation?
The pros of including PNG image format in website designing over other image formats ;for instance, GIF and JPEG; the image format can be used to make really amazing and spectacular images that will prove alluring to your customersThe PNG image format was introduced a few years back; it was brought out for consumers around 95/96 to make up for the shortcomings of the the common GIF file type. However, it did not make an impression because the early browsers could not offer support to the progressive attributes of PNG so web designers and creators were forced to include it in their designs sparingly. One of the main hurdles that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of the time; IE had limited space for PNG support which meant that the format could only be made use of in the most restricted way. Then, things metamorphosed after the availability of IE7; this fresh product from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the popularity of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is by far the most innovative image formats to be introduced so far:
It is possible to create see through images or alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, will notice that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you you will be restricted to saving any odd color transparently through the use of GIF which means that the color can be used whether opaque or transparent with no other color in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get a distinct feature over GIF; because the format is capable of producing semi transparent pixels. This simply means that you can save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. You can also use the image as a watermark or a gradient background. The image file type gives you the option to use the gradual fading of hues from completely opaque to transparent, so that you can see the webpage below
They look fabulous: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images; there are numerous other benefits to including this format. For example, if you choose a JPG image, you lose some of the details from the original file each time the file is saved, so eventually, you will notice a conspicuous downgrade in the appearance of the media. Although, this concern has now been sorted in GIF and it is possible to store the images without compromising any information, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which imparts it quite futile if you are going to store a photograph. However, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the perfect benefits of the image formats; you will have access to a complete color display like with JPEG images and it also provides managed color palette like GIF files. Also the compression of the image is lossless so the image stays put even if you save the file several times.
PNG allows for self optimization: A serious problem that web programmers need to handle on a daily basis is the issue where the contrast and brightness of the commuter screen has to be changed to see the the display properly; this happens due to the Gamma settings of different monitors. Gamma setting is a technology used to distribute the the light across the screen. However, various operating systems use distinct Gamma settings. So, a picture that is color corrected to suit Windows may appear abnormal in Mac. Again, in this case the versatile PNG picture format comes to the rescue, in PNG, you can store the files with with a Gamma correction feature that is innate so despite the differences in operating systems; the Gamma settings will be realigned to show a file with the amazing ratios of contrast as well as brightness.
