PNG(5) File Formats Manual PNG(5) NAME png - Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format DESCRIPTION PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG pro- vides a patent-free replacement for GIF, and can also replace many com- mon uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits. PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive dis- play option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity check- ing and fast, simple detection of common transmission errors. Also, PNG can store gamma and chromaticity data for improved color matching on heterogeneous platforms.
