Sometimes, you find a drawing or similar image useful for a Wikipedia article, that was saved as a JPEG but should have been saved as a PNG.JPEG is good for images where the color changes fluidly throughout the image, like in a photograph, whereas PNG files are good for images with relatively few colors, such as a drawing of a flag, a chart, or a map; note that sometimes SVG is better.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Open Access logo with dark text for contrast, on transparent background.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
When converting an image from the PNG format to GIF, the image quality may suffer due to posterization if the PNG image has more than 256 colors. GIF intrinsically supports animated images. PNG supports animation only via unofficial extensions (see the section on animation, above). PNG images are less widely supported by older browsers.

This image or media file is available on the Wikimedia Commons as File:Information icon.svg, where categories and captions may be viewed. While the license of this file may be compliant with the Wikimedia Commons, an editor has requested that the local copy be kept too.
Some image formats, such as PNG and TIFF, also allow partial transparency through an alpha channel, which solves the edge limitation problem. Instead of each pixel either being transparent or not transparent, it can be set to 254 levels of partially transparent, allowing some of the background image to show through the foreground image.
