Remarks

PNG is a versatile raster format that can display in web browsers and inserted into other documents. It supports high-bit-depth color and uses a lossless compression. For maps, PNG is often the best raster format, since the lossless compression keeps text and line work legible by preventing the compression artifacts that can occur in JPEG format. PNGs can be generated with an accompanying world file for use as georeferenced raster data.
