PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. Web designers often use PNG for images that need transparency or sharp detail, like logos or graphics with text. While PNGs have great image quality, they can have larger file sizes than other formats like JPEG, which can slow your site down. It’s important to balance quality and file size to keep loading times fast while maintaining image clarity.
