Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Specification (Second Edition)
This document describes PNG (Portable Network Graphics), an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images.
PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are
supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits.
