PNG is short for Portable Network Graphic, a type of image file. It’s particularly popular file type with web designers and widely used on websites to display high-quality digital images because it can handle graphics with transparent or semi-transparent backgrounds. PNG files, which use the .png extension, can handle 16 million colors - which definitely sets them apart from most file types.
