This image has partial transparency (254 possible levels of transparency between fully transparent and fully opaque). It can be transparent against any background despite being anti-aliased. Some image formats, such as PNG and TIFF, also allow partial transparency through an alpha channel, which solves the edge limitation problem.
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.
