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 minimising 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.

The AVIF file format is aimed at being a modern replacement for the popular JPEG image format. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media, AVIF is an advanced image file format that leverages the cutting-edge compression algorithms used by the AV1 video codec.

The aim of the format is to surpass the quality of the equivalent JPEG file while packing a smaller file size via the use of the AV1 compression algorithm. The aim of the compression algorithm, which is a lossy algorithm, is to reduce the file size by removing detail from the image that the eye would not normally notice, thus reducing the size of the final AVIF file.

Support for AVIF files is still growing, with many modern image editors able to read and write to the format. The latest versions of the most popular web browsers have also moved to support AVIF images, having seen the benefit to website developers of reduced image sizes and thus reduced bandwidth usage.
