PNG graphics are lightweight, transparent background designs that are meant to be used nearly for any and all design purposes.
The term ‘PNG’ stands for ‘Portable Network Graphics, and it’s a raster graphic file format that supports lossless data compression that, together with JPEG and GIF, it’s one of the most used and practical image file formats available.
PNGs are used by professional designers and casual users alike since they’re very easy to use on any type of design, and in this post, we’ll show you 5 of the best sites to find and download PNG graphics:
