About PNG and GIF

PNG (PNG image). PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparent backgrounds. The files are larger than JPG for photos, but text, logos and screenshots stay perfectly sharp. It is best for logos, screenshots, graphics and pictures that need a transparent background.

GIF (GIF image). GIF is an old format limited to 256 colours per picture. It is known for short looping animations and is understood by almost every app. It is best for simple graphics, and animations on chat apps and social media.
