File format information for PNG and AI

Extension	PNG
Full Name	Portable Network Graphics
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/png
Format	Binary
Opens With	Paint.Net, Photoshop

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 colours down to 256 or 16 colours to help reduce the file size of the PNG.

Extension	AI
Full Name	Adobe Illustrator
Type	Vector
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The AI file format is the native file extension associated with the Adobe Illustrator vector editing software. The format stores graphics in vector form, enabling content to be scaled without any loss of detail or pixelation associated with bitmap formats.

A wide range of image data can be stored within an AI file, including basic drawing elements such as lines, curves, and other shapes and colours, gradient fill, and other effects that control the rendering of elements. All these drawing elements are arranged in an independent manner, allowing easy editing of the individual elements that make up the final image.

AI files can be imported into a wide range of vector editing software with varying degrees of accuracy, meaning that for maximum compatibility, Adobe Illustrator software is best used when editing AI files.
