What are PNG and TIFF files?
PNG (.png)
PNG is a lossless image format that keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports full transparency. It is ideal for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges or text.
TIFF (.tif, .tiff)
TIFF is a high-quality format used for printing, scanning and archiving. It supports layers and multiple pages, which makes it popular with scanners, publishers and photographers.
