What is a PNG file?

A PNG – or Portable Network Graphic – file is a type of raster image file commonly used in web design. It was developed as an alternative option to the GIF file, offering improved colour quality with no licensing required.

PNGs don’t support animation like GIFs, but they do support static images. This is one of the main reasons why they are frequently used for digital graphics on websites and other professional projects, as they can maintain a high image resolution and quality, without slowing down your download times.

Why convert a PDF to a PNG file?

There are many reasons why you might want to convert a PDF to a PNG. For example, your document may contain an image or multiple images that you need to edit or use somewhere else. Another common reason is when you’re uploading to places that don’t accept PDFs.

A PDF is a document while a PNG is an image, so they can be useful in different scenarios. Both file types are regularly used in professional settings, so it’s convenient to be able to adapt them as needed.

Benefits of PNGs.

Here are some of the main benefits of PNGs:

• PNGs are a lossless compression option. Converting to PNG allows you to compress the images in a PDF without losing quality.
• They’re also universal. You can view and edit them in just about any browser or program.
• Useful for web design. PNG files support transparency, so you can layer a logo or other design element over a background colour or image. Plus, you can create charts and graphics in any size.
• Millions of colour options. You can choose from a vast selection of shades and hues to improve the quality and detail of the image in a lossless format.
