Bit late but .png (portable network graphic) is an image format that supports transparency, semi transparency and lossless compression. This means that in the process of reducing an image file size, none of the deatailed is lost. It is ideal for graphics with sharp lines. As ther is no “artifacting” and the image can be compressed quite small. JPEGs compress the image by divining it up and setting a section from a pre determine preset. This means noticeable artifacring can occur on sharp lines. JPEGs are more suited to real life photographs as the complexity makes compression unnoticeable and PNGs of photographs will ahve a large file size.
