The FAX file format rose to prominence during the 1990s with the rise in popularity of the fax machine as a means of transmitting documents over a wired connection.

The format is simply a wrapper format for the existing file formats, TIFF and PDF. Building on the existing available formats meant the process of building the hardware and software for fax machines was simplified and ensured compatibility across the different brands of fax machines.

With the advent of email, fax machines quickly lost favor, and with it, the FAX file format has rapidly lost support in most image editing applications.

PNG files are a widely used graphics file format used in areas where high-quality images (often with transparency) are required while also retaining a small file size. They are one of the most common formats of file used for web and print mediums and are particularly useful for logos, icons, and other images where multi-level transparency is desired.

The format itself was created in the 1990's with the main aim of storing computer graphics in a high-quality format while minimizing the required storage space. The longer-term aim was to displace the GIF file format and make PNG the number one format for non-lossy, high-quality image formats on the then-burgeoning world wide web.

One of the selling points of the PNG format is its support for multiple levels of transparency, making it superior to the GIF format, which can only handle a single level of transparency. Also, like GIFs, the PNG format supports palletizing image colors down to 256 or 16 colors to help reduce the file size of the PNG.
