PNG is an acronym for portable network graphics. It was historically preferred over [[GIF]]s for its unencumbered license, and though GIF is now free PNG is still used out of habit. It supports a wider range of transparency than GIF and stores virtually no metadata. PNG, because it is [[lossless]], is generally larger in size than a [[JPG]] and somewhat smaller than a GIF.
