Unlike other formats, a PNG file won’t lose quality each time you reopen and save it. Unlike GIF, PNG doesn’t support animation, however it is one of the best uncompressed image formats. PNG or Portable Network Graphics (you don’t have to remember that, pinky promise) is a high-quality graphic file format that was created to replace GIF. PNG is not just an abbreviation you see on your screenshots, it’s a file format that guarantees your images don’t lose their quality, no matter how many times you edit and re-save them! In this tutorial, we answer the question “what is a PNG file and why should you use it on Mac?” as well as walk you through the easiest ways to open, edit, and convert PNG. Use mouse, keyboard, and trackpad your own way.
