PNG is a raster image format that employs a lossless compression technique called Deflate. It was developed as a free image alternative to the GIF format. PNG supports three different types of raster graphics: grayscale images, indexed-color images, and full-color images. PNG is able to discriminate visual information in a compressed representation while keeping its image quality intact; this is why it is so popular across the web and in design applications.
If you’ve been online for more than, say, five minutes, you’ve seen a GIF. Those tiny loops? Under the hood it’s a bitmap format that works with a palette per frame—at most 256 colors. Data is packed with LZW, which is lossless, so saving doesn’t smear the pixels. Back in 1987, CompuServe published the first spec, GIF87a. Then 1989 brought GIF89a with a simple 1-bit transparency trick and basic multi-frame animation. Small files, easy sharing, good-enough color—no wonder GIF became the early web’s workhorse and it’s still hanging around.
