I have never used the PNG format for anything. I find it useless since Jpeg and Gif do the job a lot better so I was pretty pleased to find this website that actually proves this. PNG might be better file format but the files are much much more larger then Jpeg and Gif which doesnt make it very practical. [Link]

yeah PNG is a combination of jpg and gif. but the problem is PNG file sizes are really large and there are only a very few situations where PNG is an advantage. me and nibaq were discussing this earlier, his KuwaitBlogs buttons are in PNG format. When we saved it as a gif the size dropped by 57%.
PNG os always better when u make transparent pics, better quality that gif’s
thats also not true. It depends what you are trying to get transparent. if your image just involves solid colors or type, gif will do as good a job in a smaller sized file.
try a one color image, png is much better, gif is gonna be fucked up
dude, i have tried it and the whole world uses gif transparency. its not fucked. you just dont know how to use it.
