PNGstyle

PNGstyle is a file format used for storing images. It is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. This means that the image quality remains the same even after compression, unlike formats like JPEG which use lossy compression. PNGstyle supports transparency, allowing for images with adjustable alpha channel values, making it suitable for web graphics and designs where images need to be layered over backgrounds.

The PNGstyle format was developed as a patent-free replacement for the GIF format. It supports a wide range of colors, including true color (24-bit) and grayscale images. PNGstyle files are commonly used on the internet due to their ability to display images with high detail and transparency without significant file size increases, especially when compared to uncompressed formats. The file extension for PNGstyle images is .png. Its design prioritizes efficiency and visual fidelity for digital display.
