The subject is a light blue to dark blue gradient rounded rectangle. I used an annoying red for the background andor matte color for some of the tests. It can handle up to 256 colors, similar to GIF, and uses a lossless compression method. You will receive a low file size similar to GIF, approximately 10-30 smaller than other bitmap formats like JPG. You can see in my matrix, that all of the PNG-8s have banding across the gradient. It does use the same lossless compression as PNG-8, but you will obtain a larger file size due to the amount of information that will be retained vs. PNG-8. If you have more complex graphics or photos which require more detail retention, PNG-24 is a great choice. This will provide the illusion of a smooth transparency along the curves or anti-aliased parts of your graphic. Also, you will notice the black, these were exported on a transparent background, but I did not select a matte color, so it defaulted to black. Or you could say it is a PNG-24 with Alpha Transparency based on traditional definitions. Png 24 Full Alpha TransparencyWhy Well, Photoshop and Illustrator produce PNG-32s if you choose full alpha transparency option on a PNG-24. It just doesnt really inform the user that it is creating a PNG-32. Use this format only when necessary for those complex graphics that have gradients, varying colors, rounded edges and transparency. ![]() Index Transparency Well, index transparency provides a single index color and level to be transparent. ![]() This also means you can have varying percentages of transparency for your graphicimage, like a graphic that may be used as an overlay and it has 50 opacity on the whole image. But most other formats, such as index, reverted it to 100 opacity. Adobe Fireworks, formally Macromedia, uses PNG as its file format, but it is a layered PNG which means that it could potentially be large in file size, because it retains all of the raw, layered information of the Fireworks file. So, if you have an unusually large PNG, that might be the reason why. There are some PNG fix libraries to help handle this for those browsers.
