'''The [[PNG]] (Portable Network Graphics) ''' file format does almost everything that the GIF format does and does it better. The PNG file format supports true color (16 million colors) whereas the GIF file format only 256 colors. PNG excels when the image has large areas of uniform color. The lossless PNG format is best suited for editing pictures, and the lossy formats like JPG are best for storage because of smaller file size. [[Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support|Many older browsers]] do not yet support the PNG file format. The [[Adam7_algorithm|Adam7]]-interlacing allows an early preview even when only a small percentage of the data of the image has been transmitted.
