What is the PNG file format and
what does SaveAsPNG do?
A photograph or a graphic image is stored in your computer in
a
file. There are many standards ("formats") for such picture file. Among
the common ones on the Windows operating system, you may encounter BMP,
ICON, GIF, JPEG, Exif, PNG, TIFF, WMF, and EMF files. Generally
speaking, these formats can be divided into two major categories:
- Lossless
- Allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the file,
even if some of this date is not really needed by the human eye.
- Lossy - Discards
(loses) some of the original details in order to allow producing a much
smaller (compressed) file. At a reasonable compression level, the
result is imperceptible by the human eye, where the
mind can easily see past very minor errors or inconsistencies.
The PNG file format belongs to the first group (lossless file format)
and is very popular due its ability to preserve the tiniest
details precisely while still compressing the size of the
image,
in addition to supporting various levels of transparency (aka "alpha
channel"). This is especially important when you need to edit a file
and save it multiple times, where it is not desireable to loose image
quality every time it is saved.
PNG file usually have the file extension .png and in
Windows can also be identified by its file type: "PNG Image".
Converting a picture from one file format to another is typically
supported by bulky (and sometimes expensive) image editing software
such as
Adobe Photoshop or
GIMP.
Such programs take long to time open and if you encounter a situation
where you need to frequently convert image files to PNG, you may find
our
SaveAsPNG a true life saver: With a
single click
(after right-clicking the file's context menu) it instantly saves a
copy of your file as a
PNG Image type. Your
original picture file remains intact.
In the following snapshot you can see the original files selected, a
moment before using
SaveAsPNG to convert them, in
one fell swoop, to PNG:
And a moment later, the same files are still selected, but each now has
a copy in PNG format.:
Note: Depending on the original
picture, saving in PNG format can result in a smaller or larger file
size.
The file extensions currently supported by
SaveAsPNG
are: .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .emf, gif, .ico, .tif and .tiff.
