Icon sizes: 256x256, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16 File formats: ICO, GIF, PNG, BMP ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why Do You Need to Use PNG Image Format in Your Website Creation?The pros of using PNG file format in web designing over other image formats like GIF and JPEG; the file format can be use to make really amazing and wonderful icons that will prove alluring to your visitors.The PNG image format was introduced a few years back; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers in the mid 90's to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional GIF file format. However, it did not catch on because the the browsers of the time were unable to support the advanced offerings of PNG so web designers and creators were forced to to use it sparingly. One of the primary blocks that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had limited place for PNG support which meant that the format could only be used in limited capacity. But went through a change when IE7 was brought out; this latestfresh offeringbrowser from Microsoft has helped in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the best image formats around today: It is possible to create tranparent images or a feature called alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, will notice that a very disinct advantage with PNG is that you you will be restricted to saving any odd color in a transparent format through GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with no other color in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get apecific advantage; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. The Image can also be used as a gradient background or water mark. The format gives you the option to use the slow fading ofcolors from completely opaque to se through, exposing the webpage below They lookfantastic: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also ; there are numreous other advantages to using this format. For example, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a portion of the information on the original file every time the file is saved, so after a while, you will notice a conspicuous deterioration in the quality of the pictures. Even though, this problem has been solved in GIF and will be able to save the pictures without compromising any information, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which makes it quite futile if you want to store a photograph. On the other hand, when you use PNG, you will get the best attributes of the two file types; you get a a complete color display like the one used in JPEG format and it also}{supports| provides|offers} managed color palette {like|a la| as seen in} GIF files. {Also|At the same time|Another advantage is that} the {compression|storage} of the {file|image|picture} is {lossless|sans loss|without loss} so the {image|picture|photograph} {stays put|stays as it is|does not change} {regardless of how many time you save it|despite innumerable times of saving the file|even if you save the file several times}. {PNG is self optimizingL Self Optimization is possible in PNG|PNG allows for self optimization}: {One of the hurdles| A major concern|A serious problem} that web {designers|pogrammers} {face|have to tackle|need to handle} {on a daily basis|frequently|veryoften} is the {fact that|issue where|the anomaly due to which} {the contrast and the brightness of the monitor|the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen|the contrast and brightness of the commuter screen} has to be {adjusted|changed|regulated} to see the {images|pictures|the display} {properly|correctly|appropriately}; {this happens|this problem occurs|the issue comes into the picture} due to {the Gamma settings of different monitors|various Gamma setting used in monitors from different vendors|the difference in the Gamma setting used for the different monitors}. {Gamma|Gamma setting} is a {method|technology|technique} {used|incorported|that helps} to {distribute|scatter|spread} the {luminance|brightness|the light} across the {display surface|screen|monitor display}.
