Why Do You Need to Use PNG Images in Your Website Creation?
The pros of using PNG file format in website designing over the different file types such as GIF and JPEG; the image format helps to make really amazing and spectacular images that will wow your visitorsThe PNG file format was introduced some time ago; it was put forth for consumers around 95/96 to meet the deficiencies of the the common GIF image format. However, it did not make an impression because the the browsers of the time were not designed to support the state of the art attributes of PNG so internet designers and developers had to include it in their designs sparingly. One of the primary hurdles standing in the way was Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had limited provision for PNG support which meant that the format could only be used in limited capacity. But, things metamorphosed with the introduction of IE7; this new offering from Microsoft has helped in increasing the usability of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is by far the most useful image formats in the market today:
You will be able to create transparent images or a property known as alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, will notice that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you can only save any odd color transparently through the use of GIF which means that the color can be used whether opaque or transparent with nothing in between; however, with PNG, you get a serious benefit; because the format can be used to produce semi transparency. With this attribute, you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then use it against a background of your choice. You can also use the image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The format lets you incorporate the slow fading of colors from fully opaque to transparent, so that you can see the webpage below
They look spectacular: It is a well known fact that PNG images give you extreme flexibility also; there are a myriad of other advantages to using this format. For instance, when you use a JPEG image, you lose a portion of the information from the initial image whenever the file is saved, so in time, you will be able to view a distinct deterioration in the finesse of the pictures. Although, this problem has been resolved in the image format and you can save the files without compromising any information, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which renders it quite futile if you have to save a photograph. But, with PNG, you will get the most desired benefits of the image formats; you will have access to an extensive color display similar to JPEG file type and it also supports managed color palette like GIF files. Another advantage is that the compression of the file is sans loss so the photograph stays put even if you save the file several times.
PNG is self optimizing: A serious problem that web programmers need to handle very often is the issue where the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen has to be changed to see the images properly; this happens due to the Gamma settings of different monitors. Gamma is a technology incorporated to scatter the brightness across the monitor display. However, various operating systems use varying Gamma settings. Therefore, multimedia that is color corrected to suit Windows will seem wrong when seen on Mac. Once again, in this situation the innovative PNG format can help you out, 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 display an image with the perfect brightness and contrast.
