PNG stands for portable network graphics. It is the raster graphics format associated with the .png filename extension. Unlike GIF format, the limitation of 256 colors does not hold with the PNG format. In fact this among other reasons was the motivation behind development of the PNG format to improve upon the GIF format.

Because the format was engineered to ease the distribution of graphic files across computer networks it is also not well suited for professional graphics.
