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. The PNG format however uses a single image format and thus does not support animations. Because the format was engineered to ease the distribution of graphic files across computer networks it is also not well suited for professional graphics.
StarOffice, otherwise known as Oracle Open Office, was a proprietary office suite initially released in 1985 and developed by Sun Microsystems before being acquired by Oracle. Prior to adopting the Open Document XML file format, the suite had its own proprietary components and filename extensions for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, and drawing. The .sxw filename extension was one such filename extension associated with the native file format of documents authored by the Star Office Writer (a word processor) application version 6 and above. Prior to this version, the filename extension .sdw was used.

Upload PNG files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized SXW results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent SXW audio with dependable progress tracking.
The PNG formation become a published ISO standard in 2004 as ISO/IEC 15948, although it was formally accepted for use by the internet engineering steering group in 1996. The PNG format has broad support for various color palettes including 24 bit RGB, 32 RGBA, and grayscale with optional support for transparency. The lossless data compression method used by PNG is DEFLATE.
The sxw format is part of the Star office xml format which was later discontinued in favor of the open document standard. The format uses an XML structure contained in a ZIP archive. Compression is not used for document meta data allowing for easier searching and or extraction.
