A PNG is the GIF replacement

PNGs were essentially created to replace GIFs! PNG stands for, "Portable Network Graphics", while GIF stands for "Graphics Interchange Format". It surpasses a GIF image in the quality of transparency around objects and support a larger color range. Why are GIFs still around? Because they support snippets of animations, like those cute cat videos everyone loves, which allowed them to gain substantial popularity on the Internet. GIFs have become very popular over the years on various social platforms. They're commonly used to share jokes and shared between friends as a form of comedy.

Quality control

For many reasons, distributing a PNG can be a lot easier than distributing a GIF. A PNG file can be compressed, without losing any of its original quality. This means that, although image size decreases, its quality stays the same! When you convert a GIF to a PNG you will have an image of great quality whether the file size is the same or not.

Improved colors

We weren’t kidding about PNG replacing GIF! PNGs support a larger range of colors than GIFs, which makes them superior for color images. If some colors were not able to be portrayed in your GIF image, they will appear in your newly converted PNG image. Why not convert your image file to PNG if it means more colors available!

Transparent

PNG files support transparency in browsers, which is great if you want your web background to show through your image. There are many benefits to having an image with a transparent background. You may be working a project that requires you to use an image where the background is not needed. Having access to an image with no background can be very useful in many cases.
