So what’s PNG? PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and is an image format that supports 24bit color information plus 8bit alpha channel information for transparency.<\/p>\n

As GIF only supports one transparency color mask, a new image formathad to hit the web. So the W3C consortium has developed PNG. While GIF with animation is supported by a wide variety of browsers and their engines, the pendant herefore, called APNG is only supported by a handful of them, among these for example is Firefox.<\/p>\n

As of now WebP only seems to support still images but with a higher quality upon same compression level. The results are quite stunning. But why is Google trying to involve a new standard for alpha-supported images and not trying to improve the widely common PNG-standard? No one knows for sure.<\/p>\n
