PNG is a file format used in Canva that allows for high-quality images with transparent backgrounds.

What is PNG?

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It is a file format used for storing digital images, especially those with transparent backgrounds. PNG was developed as an alternative to the GIF format, which had limitations in terms of color depth and patent issues. PNG files can support millions of colors and have a lossless compression, which means that the image quality is not compromised when the file size is reduced.

Why use PNG in Canva?

Canva is a graphic design platform that allows users to create various types of designs, including social media graphics, presentations, posters, and more. PNG is a popular file format in Canva because it supports transparency, which is essential for creating designs with overlapping elements or for placing designs on different backgrounds. PNG files also have a high resolution, which means that the images will look sharp and clear even when they are enlarged or printed.
