About PNG to WebP Conversion

What is a PNG file?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format with support for transparency. It is widely used for web graphics, logos, and images that require crisp detail.

  • History: PNG was developed in 1995 by Thomas Boutell and colleagues as an open, patent-free alternative to GIF, and became a W3C recommendation in 1996.
  • Purpose: PNG is the go-to format when lossless quality and transparency support are required, such as logos, icons, and layered artwork.
  • Developed by: An independent group led by Thomas Boutell, later standardized by the W3C.
  • Release: PNG specification first published in 1996.
