Why Should You Use PNG Image Format in Your Website Creation?
The pros of incorporating PNG image format in website creation over various other file types ;for instance, GIF and JPEG; the file format helps to make good and wonderful icons that will prove alluring to your visitorsThe PNG file type was introduced some time ago; it was put forth in the market around 95/96 to meet the deficiencies of the popular GIF image format. However, it did not catch on because the the browsers of the time were unable to support the progressive attributes of PNG so website designers and makers had to incorporate it sparingly. One of the primary hindrances standing in the way was Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of the time; IE had limited provision for PNG support which meant that the format could only be incorporated to a bare minimum. Then, the scene metamorphosed after the availability of IE7; this new product from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the usability of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is is often regarded as the most innovative image formats in the market today:
You will be able to create images that can be superimposed due to their transparency or alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, it will become apparent that a very distinct advantage with PNG is that you can only save any odd color in a transparent format through GIF which means that you can get the color regardless of it being opaque or transparent with just transparency in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get a serious benefit; because the format is capable of producing 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. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The format allows for the gradual fading of colors from completely opaque to see through, and hence you will be able to view 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 benefits to including this format. For example, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose a portion of the information from the original file each time the file is saved, so eventually, you will be able to view a conspicuous decline in the finesse of the media. Even if, this problem has been resolved in GIF and you will be able to save the files without sacrificing any data, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which renders it quite futile if you are going to store a photograph. However, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the most desired features of both these formats; you get a full color display like the one used in JPEG file type and it also supports managed color palette as seen in GIF files. At the same time the storage of the picture is without loss so the photograph does not change despite innumerable times of saving the file.
Self Optimization is possible in PNG: A major concern 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 adjusted to see the pictures properly; this problem occurs due to the Gamma settings of different monitors. Gamma setting is a technique used to scatter the the light across the display surface. However, different operating systems use varying Gamma settings. Hence, a picture that is color corrected for Windows may not look right on a Mac. Here again, in this scenario the innovative PNG picture format can prove useful, in PNG, you can save the pictures with with a Gamma correction feature that is innate so regardless of the operating system; the Gamma settings will be changed on its own to show an image with the amazing contrast and brightness.
