What is it?
PNG(可移植网络图形)是一种无损光栅图像格式,于1996年创建,作为专利GIF格式的开放替代品。与JPG不同,PNG在压缩过程中从不丢弃图像数据,完美保留每个像素的原始捕捉。
PNG支持完整的alpha通道透明度,这意味着像素可以完全透明、完全不透明或介于两者之间的任何级别。这使其成为徽标、图标、用户界面元素以及任何需要透明背景的图像的标准选择。

Is PNG better than JPG?
It depends on the content. PNG is better for graphics, logos, and images with transparency. JPG is better for photographs where smaller file size matters more than pixel-perfect accuracy.
Why is my PNG file so large?
PNG uses lossless compression, so file sizes are larger than JPG. To reduce size without losing quality, use a PNG optimizer or convert to WebP for web use.
Does PNG support animation?
Standard PNG does not support animation. APNG (Animated PNG) is an extension that adds animation support, but it is not universally supported.
Can I convert PNG to JPG without losing quality?
Converting PNG to JPG always introduces some quality loss because JPG uses lossy compression. Any transparent areas will be filled with white. If quality is critical, keep the PNG.
What is the difference between PNG-8 and PNG-24?
PNG-8 supports 256 colors (like GIF) and produces smaller files. PNG-24 supports millions of colors with full alpha transparency. Use PNG-24 for most modern use cases.
