FILE FORMAT GUIDE
What is a PNG file?
A lossless image format that supports sharp edges and transparency. Use this guide to decide whether to keep PNG or convert it for a different workflow.
PRACTICAL OVERVIEW
Where PNG works well
PNG is a strong choice for logos, screenshots, diagrams, and transparent artwork.
The right output depends on what must remain editable, how the file will be shared, and which application or device needs to open it.
FORMAT QUESTIONS
About PNG files
What is PNG best used for?
PNG works especially well for logos, screenshots, diagrams, and transparent artwork.
What can change during conversion?
Photo files are often larger than JPG or WebP. Features that do not exist in the chosen output format cannot be carried across exactly.
Should I keep the original PNG file?
Yes. Keep the original until you have opened the result and checked its layout, quality, data, media tracks, or other important details.
