Why Do You Need to Use PNG Images in Your Website Creation?
The pros of using PNG images in web designing over other image formats such as GIF and JPEG; the file type works well if you need to make good and wonderful icons that will wow your customersThe PNG file type was introduced a few years back; it was put forth in the market around 95/96 to meet the deficiencies of the traditional GIF image format. However, it failed to create ripples because the early browsers could not offer support to the advanced attributes of PNG so website designers and makers had to include it in their designs restrictedly. One of the main hindrances standing in the way was Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was the most well known and widely used browsers of the time; IE had limited provision for PNG support which meant that the format could only be incorporated in limited capacity. Then, matters changed with the introduction of IE7; this fresh offering from Microsoft has aided in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the most innovative image formats in the market today:
You can get see through images or alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, you will see that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you can only save any odd color transparently through the use of GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with nothing in between; however, with PNG, you get a serious advantage; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. With this attribute, you can save a PNG picture with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. The Image can also be used as a gradient background or water mark. The image file type gives you the option to use the gradual fading of hues from fully opaque to see through, and hence you will be able to view the webpage that lies in the background
They look spectacular: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also; there are a myriad of other advantages to using this format. For example, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose some of the details from the initial image each time you save the file, so in time, you will be able to view a conspicuous downgrade in the appearance of the images. Even if, this concern has been resolved in the image format and you can store the images without compromising any information, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which renders it quite ineffective if you are going to store a snap shot. But, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the most desired benefits of the image formats; you will be provided a full color display like with JPEG format and it also supports managed color palette as seen in GIF files. Another advantage is that the compression of the file is sans loss so the picture stays as it is despite innumerable times of saving the file.
Self Optimization is possible in PNG: A serious problem that web programmers have to tackle frequently is the anomaly due to which the contrast and brightness of the commuter screen has to be changed to see the images appropriately; this happens due to the Gamma settings of different monitors. Gamma setting is a technology incorporated to scatter the brightness across the display surface. However, various operating systems use varying Gamma settings. So, a picture that is color corrected specifically for Windows will seem wrong when seen on Mac. Again, in this case the flexible PNG format can prove useful, in PNG, you can save the pictures with a built in Gamma correction so despite the differences in operating systems; the Gamma settings will be realigned to show a picture with the perfect contrast and brightness.
